According to the American Red Cross, someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds. It is essential for surgeries, cancer teatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries.
The next Seabrook Island Community Blood Drive will be held Thursday, March 7, at The Lake House from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm. Seabrookers have a long history of meeting the need of the Red Cross for blood donations, so thank you in advance.
To select an appointment time, contact RedCrossBlood.org (Sponsor Code: SEABROOK). Donors have found that using RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass the day of the drive speeds up the intake process and saves waiting time. Not sure of your schedule, walk-ins are warmly welcomed.
The next Blood Drives will be:
- Thursday, June 13
- Thursday, September 19
- Thursday, December 19
For additional information, contact Kathy Rigtrup at ktrup2@aol.com or 973-715-3005. The need is great – can we count on you to help fill it?
