The American Red Cross currently faces a severe blood shortage due to an unprecedented number of blood drive cancellations during the global coronavirus outbreak. During this shortage, healthy and willing donors are desperately needed. Many patients in the Mid-Ohio Valley and across the globe count on this life-saving treatment.

If you have never given blood before, know that your donation can help save up to three lives and the need for blood is constant. To give, you need to be in good general health, be at least 17 years old in most states (16 years old with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds, and have not donated blood in the last 56 days.

Donors are asked to make an appointment on the American Red Cross website, by phone at 1-800-RedCross, or via the free donor app which can be found in the App Store. On the app, donors can get a Rapid Pass by completing a quick questionnaire. The app will then give a QR barcode, which staff will scan when the donor arrives, saving time and limiting exposure. Giving blood usually takes no more than an hour – often less if the donor completes the survey in advance.
