Don't hibernate this season when it comes to donating blood.
Although Northwest winters make driving difficult, the need for blood donations becomes critical. Chilly temperatures and rainy weather tend to increase the risk of traffic accidents, which increases trauma-related blood use.
By regularly giving blood during the winter months, donors can help put accident victims, surgery and cancer patients, people with blood diseases and others needing blood transfusions on the road to recovery.
An American Red Cross bloodmobile will be at Trout Lake School on Tuesday, Feb. 4, from 2 to 6 p.m.
Donors must be at least 17 years old, weight a minimum of 110 pounds and be in good general health.
Donors can call 395-2571 to schedule a blood donation appointment.
The Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to give this winter season.
