Celebrate National Volunteer Month by
giving blood with the Red Cross
PHOENIX, Ariz. (Mar. 16) —The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood
during National Volunteer Month this April and make a difference in the lives of patients in need.
The Red Cross salutes the hundreds of thousands of volunteers who help fulfill its lifesaving
mission and encourages others to join their ranks as volunteer blood donors. Volunteer donors
are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions.
Donors of all blood types – especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative –
are needed to help ensure blood is available for patients this spring. Those who are unable to
give blood can support blood donations and invite others to make a lifesaving donation by
creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive at redcrossblood.org/SleevesUp.
To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit
redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
