Red Cross Blood Drive in Stamford on January 12

The American Red Cross urgently needs blood and platelet donors to make an appointment now to give and help ensure patients can get the treatment they need at a moment’s notice.

Now is an important time to give blood and platelets. A seasonal decline in donations occurs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when donors get busy with family gatherings and travel. In addition, severe winter weather can cause blood drive cancellations and negatively affect the blood supply. Patients like McMahon can’t afford for there to be a shortage of blood.

Give the gift of life – make an appointment to donate blood and platelets by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). 

Parks & Rec is located at 195 Danbury Road in Ridgefield.

The Red Cross is Offering Free Red Cross Long Sleeve Tee Shirt while supplies last & Get a $5 Dunkin Gift Card BY EMAIL!
