American Red Cross to host blood drive Nov. 28 in Granville

The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28, at Putnam County High School, 402 E. Silverspoon Ave. in Granville.

The Red Cross urges blood and platelet donors to make and keep donation appointments to help hospitals restock blood products for patients ahead of the holiday season.

Donors of all blood types are needed, especially type O blood donors and those giving platelets, to help recover from a shortfall in donations throughout the late summer and fall.

To schedule an appointment to give, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-733-2767.

All who give blood from Nov. 10 to 30 will receive an exclusive pair of “Elf”-themed Red Cross socks while supplies last.
