Emergency blood shortage has been issued today by the Red Cross.
Blood donation appointments are available on Wednesday, July 22 at St. Frances of Rome Catholic Church, 29 Highland Drive, Sparta.

We're facing an emergency blood shortage — our national blood supply fell nearly 25% over the past month. During a blood shortage, doctors may face difficult choices about which patients receive blood transfusions and who will need to wait.

We are in urgent need of donors to help patients who are counting on lifesaving blood following accidents, during surgeries, and for treatment of conditions such as sickle cell disease and cancer.

Help us beat the current shortage by scheduling an appointment to give blood or platelets: https://rdcrss.org/44nJnVN
