(WTNH)– The American Red Cross needs your help this holiday season.
The Red Cross says donations typically drop off this time of year because people are busy with holiday activities and travel. However, the Red Cross reports that every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
The Red Cross is encouraging donors to find the time to give blood or platelets this holiday season so that patients in need may also have more time and more holidays.
To make an appointment to give blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, or go to redcrossblood.org. You can also call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
