Give Blood Now, Save Lives Through the Summer
The American Red Cross hopes in May to offset summer declines with opportunities to donate in Harrison, Hawthorne, Cross River, White Plains

The American Red Cross asks eligible donors to give blood in the weeks leading up to summer to help prevent a seasonal decline in donations.
