Upcoming Blood Drives in Central and Eastern Maine

From the Red Cross:

The American Red Cross asks people to schedule time to give blood or platelets now to keep the blood supply stable ahead of the busy holiday season. Just one generous hour of time could be the lifesaving difference for patients in need.

Did you know that you have the power to help patients battling cancer? The platelets in your blood can help give cancer patients the strength to keep fighting during their treatments. Learn more about donating platelets at https://t.co/uIzHT5sass. Be a platelet donor! pic.twitter.com/ehYrKf08kU
