The American Red Cross and patients throughout New England need your help.  There has been a sharp decline in blood supplies throughout this area.
The end result is a deficiency of over 1600 pints of blood throughout northern New England. This means that many blood types are in short supply; less than a 2-day supply on hospital shelves where a 5-7 day supply is ideal.
 
We are asking eligible blood donors to come out and donate a pint of blood at the following blood drives:
