Giving blood saves lives! The American Red Cross urges donors to give blood now to strengthen the national blood supply. In as little as an hour, donors can help ensure lifesaving blood is available for patients. Festive activities and busy calendars this time of year can disrupt normal routines, leading to a drop in blood donation appointments. Eligible individuals are encouraged to make donating blood a priority, especially those with type O blood.
