Pair Of Red Cross Blood Drives Set For Moorestown In January

MOORESTOWN, NJ - The American Red Cross will host a pair of upcoming blood drives in Moorestown as part of National Blood Donor Month. Those blood drives will take place as follows:

• 1/21/2019: 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., Moorestown Community House, 16 E. Main St.
• 1/25/2019: 2 p.m. - 7 p.m., St. Matthew Lutheran Church, 318 Chester Ave.

January is one of the most difficult times of the year to maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients, according to the American Red Cross.

Busy holiday schedules, extreme winter weather and seasonal illnesses often impact donor turnout this time of year.

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

Another way to help keep the blood supply strong in the new year is to host a Red Cross blood drive. To learn more about hosting a blood drive and to sign up, visit RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive.
