Donors Needed for Red Cross Blood Drive

Red Cross Blood Drive at Hope Church Apple Valley - Thursday, July 9th

While we enjoy the summer vacation, there are patients that are counting on donors to take an hour and give blood. Someone is in need of blood every 2 seconds in the US. However only 8% of eligible donors take the time to donate. Please set aside an hour and make a difference.

The Red Cross must collect 15,000 blood donations every day to meet the needs of patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country.

The blood drive is on July 9th. Hours are from Noon - 6:00pm. To make an appointment please visit www.redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-REDCROSS.
