Posted by Staff on Monday, January 9, 2023

Today is the day: on January 9, an American Red Cross blood drive will be held at Visiting Nurses & Hospice, 1200 S. Main St.

Appointments may be scheduled at https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/donation-time

The American Red Cross notes that "As we kick off 2023, the need for blood and platelets hasn’t faded with the holiday season–blood must be constantly replenished and ready for those in need of lifesaving care every day. That’s why the American Red Cross and Pro Football Hall of Famer and blood donor Peyton Manning are teaming up this January during National Blood Donor Month to rally people to give now and help patients all winter long.

"In partnership with the National Football League (NFL), those who come to give blood, platelets or plasma Jan. 1-31, 2023, will be automatically entered to win a trip for two to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona. (Terms apply. Visit www.RedCrossBlood.org/SuperBowl.)"
