The Red Cross is experiencing the worst blood shortage in over a decade. The dangerously low blood supply levels have forced some hospitals to defer patients from major surgery, including organ transplants. Sign-up for our Parish Blood Drive and help save lives.
Impact of a Blood Drive:
Every unit we donate at our blood drive can help save up to three lives. Each recipient of that blood donation has his or her own story. He or she could be an accident or trauma victim, cancer patient, a mother giving birth, a premature baby, a transplant recipient or surgical candidate. Our impact goes beyond that patient – it is multiplied by the impact it has on that person’s loved ones who are thankful for the unit we donated.
The American Red Cross could not meet patient needs and touch all of those lives if it were not for organizations like ours. We are proud to support our community, our country and be a part of the impact that the Red Cross makes every day.
COVID-19 Guidelines:
At each blood drive, Red Cross staff already follow the highest standards of safety and infection control. In addition, they have implemented additional precautions that you’ll notice at our blood drive:
-Mask wearing that covers both mouth and nose.
