(WHBL) – As COVID-19 dominates most thoughts these days, the American Red Cross is encouraging healthy persons to keep another thought in mind – donate blood! Blood and platelets are needed every day, and donations are a way to care for others during the pandemic.
The Red Cross explained that each blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and social distancing and face coverings for all donors and staff are in place for protection.
As a thank-you for helping ensure a stable blood supply, all who come to give blood or platelets May 15-31 will receive a special Red Cross “We’re all in this together” T-shirt by mail, while supplies last.
A blood drive will be held today from 11:30 – 5:30 at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Plymouth, and on Friday drives will be held from 1-6 at Our Lady of the Lakes in Random Lake, and from 10 till 3 at the Sheboygan Trades and Labor Hall at 11th and Wisconsin Avenue.
