SEELEY LAKE – The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to help ensure a sufficient blood supply throughout the holiday season. There will be a blood drive at Seeley-Swan High School Nov. 23 from 12-5:15 p.m.
A seasonal decline in donations often occurs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when donors get busy with family gatherings and travel. However, patients don’t get a holiday vacation from needing lifesaving transfusions. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.
To make an appointment to donate blood, people can download the Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
