American Red Cross Community Blood Drive

 

Did you know that every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood?More than 43,000 blood donations are needed everyday. Here's your chance to be a hero by donating blood with the American Red Cross. Just one donation can save up to three lives. And with winter upon us, the need for blood donations is at a critical level.

Fleet Feet Sports, Gaithersburg is hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive at their store from 12:00-5:00PM, Tuesday, February 15th. Come in, learn about the process and hop on the blood mobile to give your donation. Not only will you know you helped save someone's life, but, as a thank you, all donors are eligible for in-store discounts. In addition, all donors will also receive a fleece blanket from the Red Cross!
