Red Cross blood donors appreciated

To the editor:


Thank you for supporting blood drives this season.

Every two seconds someone will need blood. That is why supporting blood drives through the American Red Cross is vital - all year long. We need more blood donors constantly because some of our regular donors may be unable to donate and the need is constant.

Join your family and friends at St. Rose auditorium for the Great Bend Community Blood Drive Monday Jan. 18th, 2021.

Please call 1-800-RED-CROSS to schedule an appointment.  Since there is often an increased need for blood during this time, Great Bend plays a very important role in helping to ensure that blood is available to the over 100 hospitals served the American Red Cross Central Plains Region. I encourage you to spread the word about the need and please give as often as possible. Your blood donation will also include an antibody test (for Covid19) and will inform you results after the blood drive by mail. 

Someone somewhere needs blood and you can help by giving.

Thank you.
