Scheduled Bangor Area American Red Cross Blood Drives
Are you healthy and feeling well? It's pretty much guaranteed that someone here in Maine is not, and could really use some donated blood.
I’m sure you can list dozens of things that have been put on pause during this coronavirus pandemic – school, sports, events and more. But, one thing that hasn't hit the pause button is the need for blood across our entire state. At this very moment, more than one person here in Maine is suffering from the results of an accident, experiencing childbirth, cancer treatments, or some other medical complication.
