WORTHINGTON — January is National Blood Donor Month, and the American Red Cross continues to work to ensure a stable blood supply despite severe winter weather events and seasonal illnesses.
Donors of all blood types, particularly type O, are needed to meet demand. One in seven patients entering a hospital will need a blood transfusion, yet only 3% of the public gives blood.
In partnership with the National Football League, those who give blood, platelets or plasma through Jan. 31, will be automatically entered to win a trip for two to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona.
To book a time to give blood, visit RedCrossBlood.org , download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or call 1-800-RED CROSS.
