Red Cross Looking for Blood Drive Donors in Concordia This Week

This spring, the American Red Cross asks donors to help defend the blood supply by giving blood now to combat a monstrous fact: only 3 out of 100 people donate blood.

In recent weeks, the Red Cross has seen an encouraging increase in the blood supply, but blood donation appointments remain vital this month.  People of all blood types – especially those with type O blood – are critical to ensuring hospital shelves can be replenished as soon as possible.

The Central Plains Region of the American Red Cross will hold a blood drive on Tuesday, April 23rd from Noon to 6 pm at the First United Methodist Church in Concordia, located at 740 West 11th Street in Concordia.
