This spring, it’s critically important the Red Cross maintains a readily available blood supply for those who rely on transfusions for treatment. Since donated blood has a limited shelf life, supplies must be constantly replenished to ensure a sufficient inventory of blood products. With no substitution for blood and no way to manufacture it, volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for patients with sickle cell disease, car accident victims and parents experiencing difficult childbirths.
Two blood drives will be held in May. The first is Wednesday, May 4 at the Knights of Columbus at 701 First Street in Glasgow. Blood will be collected from 2 until 6 p.m.
Two weeks later, on Wednesday, May 18, blood will be collected from 2 until 6 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church at 306 S. Cleveland in Fayette.
