“We won’t forget the past 12 months. And, we won’t soon forget how American Red Cross blood donors and volunteers stepped up so selflessly to help others in need during a time of such uncertainty. For patients facing a life-threatening illness, help can’t wait,” said Justin Kern, Communications Director for the American Red Cross of Wisconsin.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic wears on, blood donation remains essential to ensure the health of the community,” he adds
He urges all who are able to donate blood to help ensure blood products are available for patients who need them. You never know when the life you save just might be someone you know and love.
