Together, we can save a life

Our blood supply is declining and currently the New England Region has less than a one day supply. We need to provide lifesaving blood to patients in need every day.

The American Red Cross is asking people to call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to schedule an appointment to donate blood. A safe and sufficient blood supply is a community-wide responsibility. To donate blood you must be 17 years old, there is no upper age limit and be in general good health.

Thank-you very much for your ongoing support of the volunteer blood donor program.
