Members of the American Red Cross DFW Metro East Chapter Board of Directors are rolling up their sleeves to donate blood and platelets during their annual blood drive. The Board is encouraging people to come out and join them in donating blood to help build the blood supply. Donors of all blood types – especially those giving type O blood and donors giving platelets – are vital to people counting on blood products for critical medical procedures.

Every single donation can help keep the blood supply as stable as possible during a busy time of year when many regular donors may be unable to give. Book a time to give now by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
