Residents are invited to roll up their sleeves and make a lifesaving difference at an upcoming community blood drive hosted by Michigan State University Extension. The drive will take place Monday, April 6, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the River Raisin Room at the Lenawee County Human Services Building.
This event is held in partnership with the American Red Cross, whose mission relies on generous donors to ensure hospitals have the blood supply needed for surgeries, emergencies, cancer treatments, and chronic illnesses. Just one donation can help multiple patients, making each appointment a powerful act of community care.
Appointments are encouraged to help manage donor flow and reduce wait times. To schedule a time, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Walk-ins may be accepted as space allows.
Donors should remember to bring a photo ID, stay hydrated, and eat a healthy meal before donating. Whether you are a first-time donor or a regular participant, your contribution plays a vital role in supporting patients in need.
