The American Red Cross encourages donors to give blood or platelets now to help protect the blood supply from the effects of current meteorological events. In the northern Ohio region, 14 blood drives have been canceled from the new year due to the time, leading to nearly 400 non -collected blood donations.
Everyone who is coming to give now until February 28 will receive a $ 15 gift card per selection merchant. See redcrossblood.org/flurry for details. To make an appointment, visit https://www.redcrossblood.org/.
