Blood donors of all types, especially those with type O blood, are urged to give as soon as possible to help patients receive lifesaving medical care. To make an appointment at any blood drive, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
