Blood supplies become critical in the winter as inclement weather and illness during flu season can prevent people from donating. In late January, the Red Cross put out an urgent call for donors of all blood types, and particularly for Type O. The organization reported just a three-day supply of Type O blood was available for patient emergencies and medical treatments.
To be eligible to donate blood, donors must be at least 17 years old (or 16 years old with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in generally good health. A driver’s license or blood donor’s card or two other forms of identification are required to check in.
To schedule an appointment, please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter sponsor code: GoriJAssociates.
