If you have blood to give, the Red Cross wants it. The American Red Cross sent out a request for more donations, especially type O. They say summer offers challenges that can quickly cause blood and platelet reserves to drop. Traumatic injuries can use up the supply, and vacations can cause regular donors to miss appointments.
If you donate before July 14th, they’re offering exclusive Red Cross Goodr sunglasses. Between July 15th and the 31st, they’re offering a Fandango movie reward for a free movie viewing.
If you’d like to donate, there are multiple opportunities coming.
The first is in Kamiah tomorrow (Tues, July 8th) from 11:30am to 5:30pm at St. Catherine’s Church. Then the Lewiston blood drive is Wednesday from noon to 6pm at the All Saints Catholic Church.
You can also donate in Moscow on Thursday from 10am to 3pm at the Best Western Plus University Inn, on the 30th from noon to 6pm at the Eagles Lodge, or the 31st from noon to 6pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse.
In Troy, you can donate on the 24th from noon to 6pm at the Lions Hall.
Craigmont has an event coming up on the 23rd from noon to 6pm at the fire station.
