Red Cross urges blood donations amid summer shortages The American Red Cross is urging all eligi ble donors to give blood or platelets now to help maintain a strong blood supply during the summer months. Type 0 blood is especially needed to en sure hospitals are stocked for trauma patients and others requiring lifesav ing transfusions. Seasonal activities, hol idays and severe weather can all disrupt blood col lection efforts, making summer a particularly challenging time to meet demand. The Red Cross stresses that scheduling and keeping donation ap pointments in July is crit ical to prevent shortages. All blood types are needed. Donors who don’t know their blood type can learn it after giving. Appointments can be made at RedCrossBlood. org, by calling 1-800- RED CROSS (1-800-733- 2767), or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App. As a thank-you, those who give by July 14 will receive a pair of exclu sive Red Cross x goodr sunglasses, while supplies last. Each pair includes a sticker to personalize the shades with your blood type. Full details are available at RedCross- Blood.org/goodr. Donors who give July 15-31 will receive a Fan dango Movie Reward by email, good toward a summer movie. Learn more at RedCrossBlood. org/July.
