BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The American Red Cross is asking the public to start the fall season off with a lifesaving blood or platelet donation.
The organization says that those who give this fall will help keep the blood supply high enough to help patients counting on blood products for care– especially ahead of the busy holiday season.
To book a time to give blood or platelets those interested can use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
As a thank-you, the Red Cross is also offering opportunities for those who donate. A full list of available awards are listed on their website.
