The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors in St. Lawrence County to give blood before the holiday season is in full swing.
Blood donations often decline from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when holiday festivities pull people away from their donation appointments. This often causes a drop in the blood available for patients. Donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help offset this seasonal decline.
Blood drives will be held Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Edwards-Knox Central School, 2512 County Route 24 in Hermon. A blood drive is also set for Nov. 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Clarkson University at 120 Student Center.
To make an appointment download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-733-2767.
