American Red Cross With blood inventories continuing to fluctuate, the Red Cross reminds area residents of the need for blood donations, especially for those fighting cancer. Blood donors are needed year-round to treat cancer patients and those undergoing chemotherapy; as well as the many other types of patients needing blood.
If you are at least 17 years of age, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and are in general good health, you may be eligible to donate blood. For more information on blood donation, call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE. The Red Cross reminds those coming to donate to bring a photo ID.
