Arvest Bank to hold blood drive
March 28, 2018
Though spring has officially arrived, the American Red Cross blood supply is still recovering from severe winter storms in March. Donors of all blood types are urged to roll up a sleeve and help save lives.
Winter weather in parts of the country forced more than 270 blood drives to cancel, resulting in over 9,500 uncollected blood and platelet donations in the first two weeks of March. No matter the weather, the need for blood to help cancer patients, those undergoing surgeries, trauma patients and others remains.
Upcoming blood drive opportunity:
• Friday, April 13, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Bloodmobile at Arvest Bank at 503 Main Street in Cassville
