Currently the American Red Cross has issued a nationwide appeal for blood donors to boost a dwindling supply. Since January 1, the bad weather in DC and the Northeast has created a situation where a total of over 30,000 blood/platelet donations have not been able to be collected. Blood products help save peoples lives, whether it’s a blood transfusion for a car accident victim, platelets for cancer patients, or frequent blood transfusions for sickle cell patients. The American Red Cross will be holding at the University of Maryland Stamp Student Union in the Atrium from 9 am to 3 pm on: *Tuesday February 22nd The Sponsor Code for this drive is 13160. * Please click: (https://www.membersforlife.org/rccm/mobilesch/login. php?sponsorcode=13160<http://e.groupspaces.com/click/130s8-117xh-1daxctvci7?u=http%3A%2F%2Fe.groupspaces.com%2Fclick%2F12skv-18sjw-2fnu49kd1w%3Fu%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fe.groupspaces.com%252Fclick%252F11nln-18sjw-2gdetk0ypm%253Fu%253Dhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.membersforlife.org%25252Frccm%25252Fmobilesch%25252Flogin.php%25253Fsponsorcode%25253D13160%2526utm_medium%253Demail%2526utm_source%253Dgroup-mail%2526utm_term%253Dgroup-mail-7779%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dgroup-mail%26utm_term%3Dgroup-mail-7779>) to view available times and to schedule your life-saving donation appointment.
