Donations made at this event have the potential to significantly impact the lives of patients requiring transfusions. By participating, individuals can collectively contribute to providing hope, facilitating healing, and offering a second chance to those in need, ultimately fostering a healthier and more resilient community. The American Red Cross is particularly encouraging eligible donors with O, B-, or A- blood types to consider making a Power Red donation, which allows for a greater concentration of red blood cells to be collected and potentially benefit more patients.

To ensure an efficient and seamless donation experience for all participants, appointments are strongly recommended. Potential donors can secure a time slot by visiting RedCrossBlood.org and navigating to the “Donate Blood” tab, then selecting “Schedule an Appointment” and entering “WashingtonCountyPSTC.” Alternatively, individuals can call 1-800-733-2767 or download the free “Red Cross Blood” app, available on both the App Store and Google Play. For any inquiries regarding the blood drive, interested parties can contact Chris Amos at camos@washco-md.net.
