On this, the first day of fall, the American Red Cross is asking the public to start the season with a lifesaving blood or platelet donation.
Laura McGuire, Regional Communications Manager, said in a news release those who give this fall play an important role in keeping the blood supply high enough to help patients counting on blood products for care.
That’s especially important ahead of the busy holiday season.
To schedule a time to give blood or platelets use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS.
