Upcoming Red Cross Blood Drives In Portland Area

PORTLAND, OR — The nation's low blood donation supply continues to pose a challenge during a summer when demand is unusually high.

The Red Cross needs to collect more than 1,000 additional daily blood donations in order to meet hospital demand.

Hospitals are treating a high number of traumatic injuries this summer. There is also high demand for organ transplants and elective surgeries.

People who donate through the end of July will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card, plus automatically be entered for a chance to win free gas for a year.

Here are the Red Cross blood drives coming up in the Portland area in the next few weeks. You can search for additional Red Cross blood drives from a wider area here.
