Schedule your appointment today at RedCrossBlood.org  or call 1-800-RED CROSS or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App.

April is National Volunteer Month and the American Red Cross is celebrating the millions of people who volunteer to give blood, platelets and plasma throughout the year. Donors of all blood types, especially Type O blood donors and those giving platelets, are needed now to keep the blood supply strong enough to support critical patient care this spring. With no substitute for blood and no way to manufacture it, volunteer donors are essential for hospital patients in need of transfusions.
