There is a shortage of blood in America. According to the Red Cross, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. This virtual campaign is an opportunity for those who cannot attend the event in Riverdale on January 30th, but would still like to represent APHIS in this important endeavor.
We work together every day to do important work. But today, we want to accomplish something even more meaningful. The Red Cross has to collect 15,000 blood donations every day to have enough blood to help patients in 2,700 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. That’s a lot of patients in need and all of us, coming together, can help ensure patients receive life-saving blood.
So #SleevesUpAPHIS and help us reach our goal. Make and keep an appointment to give blood to the American Red Cross.
