CONCORD — As fall approaches, the American Red Cross is asking the public to start the season off with lifesaving blood or platelet donation. While the leaves turn, the need for blood never changes. Those who give this fall play an important role in keeping the blood supply on track for patients counting on blood products for care, especially ahead of the busy holiday season.

Book a time to give blood or platelets by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, or calling (800) RED-CROSS or (800) 733-2767.
