As summer winds down
Labor Day may be around the corner, but it's not too late to make a difference in your community this summer. Right now the need for blood is critical. Please consider scheduling and keeping an appointment to give blood this month.
You can also encourage your friends to donate as well. By combining efforts you can help those in need of lifesaving blood and blood products this summer.

Thank you for your support,

Gail McGovern, American Red Cross
