(St. Louis – October 15, 2024) The American Red Cross is facing a national blood crisis. Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.
The office of St. Louis Comptroller Darlene Green encourages community residents to help by making a blood donation at its semiannual community blood drive being held on Monday, October 28, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Room 208 of St. Louis City Hall.
The Red Cross urgently needs blood and Platelets donation, because certain cancers and cancer treatments prevent patients from producing their own. as well as the ongoing need for African American blood donors for sickle cell therapies.
