If you are able to safely give blood, please do. As a power red donor my next eligible date isn’t until September. The linked article is about the shortage in #Vermont, but this is a challenge everywhere in summer time. People give less frequently due to summer schedules (vacation, etc) but more need arises in summer because of travel and outdoor activities when more accidents occur. Thank you, blood donors!
