MENDOTA – Donated blood is a lifesaving gift most healthy people can give. The community is encouraged to donate blood on Tuesday, May 2 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Mendota Moose to help those who have been seriously injured, and need blood products to help them recover.
Every day, the American Red Cross must collect nearly 14,000 blood donations to meet the needs of trauma patients and others with serious medical conditions. While all blood types are needed, type O negative donors are especially important. Because it is the universal blood type and can be transfused to patients of any blood type, type O negative blood is what emergency personnel reach for when there is no time to determine the blood type of patients in the most serious situations.
