MANCHESTER — The American Red Cross is asking donors to give blood or platelets now to help maintain a healthy blood supply. Donors of all blood types, especially those with types O positive and B negative blood, are urged to make an appointment to keep lifesaving blood products ready the moment patients need them.

This month, the Red Cross and Peanuts are joining forces in celebration of the 75th anniversary of Peanuts. Those who come to give blood from Aug. 29 through Sept. 21, 2025, will get an exclusive Red Cross x Peanuts mystery bag with one of four special t-shirt designs, while they last.
