Free Red Cross long-sleeved T-shirt for those who come to give Dec. 19-Jan. 5

---

Blood donors in our area will get several opportunities to give blood over the next few weeks.

Blood donations of all types are needed, especially type O. Blood is needed every day for those receiving treatment for cancer and leukemia, accident and burn victims and surgical patients, among others.

As a special thank you for being the lifeline for patients this holiday season, those who come out to give blood with the Red Cross Dec. 19-Jan. 5 will receive a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

To schedule an appointment to donate, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
