Red Cross To Hold North Branford Blood Drive

The Red Cross is seeking volunteer donors of all blood types – especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative.

A blood drive will be held Saturday, April 11, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Northford Acres Volunteer Fire Department, 1958 Middletown Ave., Route 17.

Donors are needed to help ensure blood is available for patients this spring. Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations and invite others to make a lifesaving donation by creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive at redcrossblood.org/SleevesUp.

To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
