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. In addition to that, the American Red Cross is testing whole blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies. Blood donations that test positive for COVID-19 antibodies can be used to help coronavirus patients in need of convalescent plasma transfusions. The American Red Cross and Women in Learning and Leadership (WILL) Program are counting on you to help us reach our goal of 500 blood donations as a commitment to helping others during this pandemic.
We are holding blood drives at two locations:
1. Dearborn at 500 Town Center (Fairlane Mall parking lot) on Thursday April 22, 2021 from 9:00am – 3:00pm (sponsor code: ford13)
