As we move into the summer season, the American Red Cross has an urgent need for blood and platelet donors. We're counting on people to act now and schedule a blood donation appointment to help medical centers stay ready and respond quickly to emergencies.
Having blood products immediately available is a key part of summer safety. The need for blood is constant.
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.
