Sullivan Community Blood Drive Monday, Jan. 29

The American Red Cross has an urgent need for blood and platelet donors of all blood types. Busy holiday schedules, winter weather and the flu, flu, flu, have led to a winter blood donation shortage that could affect patient care. Right now, blood and platelet donations are being distributed to hospitals as fast as they come in. Patients are counting on us to help meet their needs.

You can help by donating at the Sullivan Community Center, 730 W. Main, Sullivan, on Monday, Jan. 29 from 1-6 p.m.

This blood drive is sponsored by the Missouri Baptist Hospital Auxiliary. They are asking all eligible donors to help us achieve and exceed the goal of 60 units and to encourage family and friends who have never donated to make an appointment with you. Every donation and every effort counts.

Please call 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733–2767) or visit redcrossblood.org and enter: MOBaptHSA to schedule an appointment.
