(Undated) – The American Red Cross are encouraging eligible donors to donate now. They say they see a pretty big decline, nearly twenty-one percent, in blood and platelet donations during holiday weeks, like the upcoming July 4th holiday. When blood donations drop, so does the availability of blood products for hospital patients. Donors can help ensure blood is ready when needed by making an appointment to give in the coming weeks. You can donate today at the Robinson Community Center from 1 pm-5 pm and again on July 1st also 1 pm-5 pm. To learn more and to schedule your appointment, visit redcrossblood.org.
