The American Red Cross has seen a shortfall of about 25,000 blood donations in the first two months of the summer, which makes it hard to keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood products.
Local residents will have an opportunity to donate Thursday, Aug. 24, from 12-6 p.m. at the Bott Community Center, 705 LaFayette, Warsaw.
By making an appointment to give blood or platelets in August, donors can keep the national blood supply from falling to shortage levels.
Schedule an appointment to give by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
