Red Cross Looking for Donations

red-cross

(Undated) — The American Red Cross is encouraging donors to step forward amid the summer slump. Colin Williams with the American Red Cross says donations typically drop by about 20-percent every summer and about 80-thousand people have stopped donating blood over the last four years. Your chance to donate is coming up this afternoon in Oblong. The Red Cross will be set up from 1-6 today at the Oblong Municipal Building taking both blood and “Power Red” donations. They will be set up at the Robinson Community Center next Wednesday 1-6 and at CMH on the 22nd from 1-5. The donation process takes about any hour and up to three lives can be saved from a single donation. Learn more about donating blood and check out RapidPass at redcrossblood.org.
