As a result of low blood donor turnout in recent months, the Red Cross is heading into the holidays with its lowest blood supply in more than a decade at this time of year. Blood donations are desperately needed now to meet the needs of accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.
"Our most vulnerable neighbors are facing unique and pressing struggles when crisis strikes on top of COVID-19," said Mark Thomas, Regional CEO, American Red Cross of Wisconsin. "This holiday season, join us to provide help and hope in these difficult moments by making a financial donation or by giving blood or platelets."
On Giving Tuesday and during the holidays, visit redcross.org to make a financial donation or an appointment to give blood or platelets.
