Red Cross calls for healthy donors

Upcoming donation opportunities include Nov. 7 from 2 to 7 p.m. at Northampton Township Library

The Times

As influenza activity picks up, the American Red Cross is urging healthy donors of all blood types to give blood or platelets to ensure a strong blood supply for patients in need.

Blood and platelets can only be given by donors who are feeling well. One way to maintain health is to get a flu vaccine each fall. There is no waiting period to give blood or platelets after receiving a flu shot as long as the donor is symptom-free and fever-free.

Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1–800 RED CROSS.

— Nov. 7 from 2 to 7 p.m. at Northampton Township Library, 25 Upper Holland Road in Richboro

— Nov. 7 from 2 to 7 p.m. at Tifereth Israel, 2907 Bristol Road in Bensalem
