(Undated) – The American Red Cross is encouraging eligible blood donors to give now. They say they see a decline in blood and platelet donations during holiday weeks, including the 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. The Crawford County Farm Bureau is sponsoring a drive tomorrow at the Robinson Community Center from 1 pm-5 pm. To learn more and to schedule your appointment, visit redcrossblood.org.
