Sign up for July blood drives in Yates County

YATES COUNTY — The American Red Cross will hold four Yates County blood drives. Serious shortages of all blood types continue.

Appointments are encouraged and walk-in donors will be accommodated as efficiently as possible. Make an appointment at RedCrossBlood.org, call RED-CROSS-BLOOD (800-733-2767), or download the Red Cross Donor App which will provide you a current donor card.

Save up to 15 minutes at the drive by completing on the day of the drive a Rapid Pass, which includes pre-donation reading and the health questionnaire. Go to RedCrossBlood.org/Rapid Pass or your Red Cross Donor App. Every two minutes someone needs blood.
