Here Are Upcoming Bangor & Downeast Area Blood Drives

Due to several factors that have occurred over the past few months, there is now a severe blood shortage and the American Red Cross is asking you to donate!

"Fewer blood drives in September and October coupled with hurricanes Michael and Florence, which caused thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected, were key contributing factors to the current blood shortage according to an American Red Cross press release.

The following are blood drives schedule for our area.  Could you take an hour to donate?  Someone in dire need would thank you someday. If so, then call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to schedule an appointment, or do it HERE!
