Red Cross Blood Drive at Messiah Lutheran Church

Do you have an hour to save up to 3 lives? We invite you to donate Tuesday, July 7th from 12:30 to 6:30 at Messiah Lutheran Church. Patients don’t get a summer holiday or vacation from needing blood and platelets. During the summer months of June, July and August, on average, about two fewer donors schedule an appointment to give blood at each Red Cross blood drive. This can add up to more than 100,000 fewer donations during the summer. We need your support. The Red Cross supplies blood to about 70% of the hospitals in the metro area and 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. Please visit www.redcrossblood .org to make an appointment.
