MANCHESTER — Late May signals the beginning of a busy time for celebrations and summer holidays. The American Red Cross asks donors to make an appointment to give blood or platelets now before calendars start to fill up. Donors of all blood types — especially those giving type O blood and donors giving platelets — are vital to people counting on blood products for critical medical procedures.

Every single donation can help keep the blood supply as stable as possible during a busy time of year when many regular donors may be unable to give. Book a time to give now by going to redcrossblood.org, calling (800) RED-CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor app.
