Whether a long-time donor or first timer, the American Red Cross invites individuals to give blood this month.
With the summer months upon us, attendance at Red Cross blood drives can decrease. Volunteer donations help many patients, including premature babies, cancer and surgery patients, and accident victims that receive blood transfusions.
This month the American Red Cross is holding several blood drives in the Mid-Columbia area.
Donors are encouraged to make an appointment by visiting redcrossblood.org or calling one of the following numbers to sign up for a specific drive location:
