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.

Less than 1% of Americans donate platelets — we need you! Donors like you are a lifeline for millions of Americans who need platelets to survive and fight cancer, chronic diseases and traumatic injuries each year.
