While the need for blood remains constant throughout the summer, the Red Cross experiences a drastic decline in new donors and current donors often delay giving due to summer vacation plans. Those who have never given blood before and current donors are needed to donate blood or platelets this summer to help sustain a sufficient community blood supply.
A reduced number of new and current donors during the summer contributes to an overall decline in blood and platelet donations that makes it difficult to keep pace with hospital patient needs. Last summer, nearly one-third fewer new blood donors came out to give than during the rest of the year.
If you could help us promote this, I would greatly appreciate it. We need about 50 more donors to sign up right now.
