Red Cross asking for summer blood donations in WA
SEATTLE - The American Red Cross is calling on all donors to give blood or platelets to keep its blood supply strong throughout the summer.
The Red Cross is especially encouraging type O donors to give blood now, as type O blood products are most needed in hospitals.
What we know:
The July 4 holiday added more challenges to donations this summer, according to the Red Cross.
Additionally, severe summer weather can affect the number of donations made at locations across the country. The Red Cross encourages donors to make an appointment online to ensure that blood products are consistently available for those in need.
All blood types are needed. Donors who do not know their blood type can learn it after donation.
Donors will receive a customizable and exclusive pair of Red Cross x goodr sunglasses, while supplies last, after donating.
How can you donate blood?
What you can do:
Support the American Red Cross by making an appointment and donating blood to keep their summer supply strong.
Appointments can be made on their website or app. Donors must bring valid identification to their appointment and meet age and health requirements in order to donate.
Where can you donate blood?
Here are upcoming blood donation opportunities from July 7 through 31.
