Lewis and Clark Region — This month, several Thanksgiving blood drives will take place at donor centers throughout Utah, Idaho and Montana. These special drives give donors a chance to start the season off right by giving blood at the American Red Cross.
“The demand for blood remains constant during the holiday season. Our donors’ lives also become more hectic during this time of year making it more difficult for them to find time to donate blood,” said Julia Wulf, CEO of the local Red Cross Blood Services Region. “The holiday drives help us meet patient needs while providing a great opportunity for our donors to come in during these fun events.”
