• The American Red Cross seeks blood donors. Healthy donors are asked to make an appointment by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Those who come to donate at the Red Cross through the holidays will receive a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last. As COVID-19 hospitalizations increase, hospital demand for convalescent plasma has also grown. COVID-19 convalescent plasma is a type of blood donation given by those who have recovered from this coronavirus. Their plasma contains antibodies that may help patients actively fighting the virus.
