"The need for blood remains constant, especially as the weather becomes warmer," said Todd Kulman, Communications Program Manager for the American Red Cross, Great Lakes Blood Services. "A single blood donation can save more than one life, so as the season changes, allow some change within yourself by getting into the habit of donating blood."
To donate blood or find other opportunities contact the Red Cross at redcrossblood.org or 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
