Red Cross Blood Drive

Please join us for the PNC’s next Red Cross Blood Drive on Wednesday, April 2nd from 9:30am – 2:30pm

According to the Red Cross, Since July 1, the Red Cross national blood supply has fallen by more than 25%. Blood donors of all types, especially those with type O blood, are urgently needed. Type O inventory is so low, distributions of this vital blood type are below what hospitals count on.

“It’s critical that hospitals have both type O positive and O negative blood ready to go for patients in the most life-threatening situations,” said Barry Siegfried, M.D, medical director of the Red Cross Michigan Region. “Type O is especially important for people injured in accidents and other trauma who receive emergency care. Donors of all blood types can help ensure hospital shelves are restocked to prevent patient care from being impacted.”

You can make an appointment to donate blood at the PNC on www.redcrossblood.org

Search our zip code “06379” and scroll down to choose April 2 and the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center.

Walk-ins are always welcomed.
