The American Red Cross has issued a nationwide appeal for blood donors to boost a dwindling supply. The Red Cross has not seen their blood supply drop this drastically in the last decade. Since January 1, winter weather in DC and the Northeast has created a situation where a total of over 36,000 potential blood and platelet donations have not been collected. Blood products help save people’s lives; whether it’s a blood transfusion for a car accident victim, platelets for cancer patients, or frequent transfusions for sickle cell patients. The American Red Cross and the University of Maryland Hillel will be having a blood drive on: *Wednesday, February 23rd **from 09:30 AM-03:30 PM* The Sponsor Code for this drive is 10827.
