A year ago, many things in the world paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the need for blood never stopped. Today blood donations are just as essential, and the American Red Cross urges individuals who are healthy to make an appointment to donate blood.
A blood drive will be held from 1 to 5:30 p.m. March 16 in Bradford at the Church of the Nazarene.
In Potter County, a blood drive will be held from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. March 25 at the Coudersport Consistory, and from 2 to 7 p.m. March 26 at Zion Christian in Ulysses.
March is Red Cross Month, and the Red Cross is celebrating blood, platelet and plasma donors for stepping up to meet the constant need for blood amid the pandemic. In thanks for being a vital part of the organization’s lifesaving mission, all who come to give March 15-26 will receive an exclusive Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.
