The American Red Cross is encouraging eligible blood donors to give blood in March in celebration of Red Cross Month.
The Red Cross relies on donations of time, money and blood to fulfill its humanitarian mission. Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations by organizing a blood drive, volunteering to assist with Red Cross activities or creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive online at www.redcrossblood.org/sleevesup and asking others to make a donation.
To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit www.redcrossblood.org or call 800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767).
March has been designated Red Cross Month since 1943.
