The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood to help ensure a sufficient blood supply now and throughout the summer.

Many summer activities, such as vacations and travel, cause frequent blood donors to be less available to give during the summer. However, hospital patients still depend on volunteer donors to receive lifesaving transfusions – the need for blood does not get a vacation.

Eligible donors are encouraged to choose their day to make a difference. Donors of all blood types – especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative – are needed. To make an appointment to give blood, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Upcoming blood donation opportunities

• July 16, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.: Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union, 6485 South Transit Road (Free $5 Dunkin Card to all presenting donors)
• July 28, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m., The Dale Association Incorporated, 33 Ontario St.
