Dear fellow Hanoverians:
American Red Cross heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They don’t wear
capes or special suits, and their badge of honor is the bandage that shows
they gave the “gift of life.” The Red Cross encourages eligible donors
to become hometown heroes and answer the call of patients in need by
donating blood.
Donating blood is one of the simplest things a person can do to help save a
patient’s life. For the hour it takes to give blood, there could be a
whole community of people thankful for another birthday given to their
loved one.
Upcoming blood donation opportunity:
July 29, 2015, 2:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at Hanover Town Hall, 550 Hanover
Street
How to donate blood
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit
redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an
appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a
reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or
two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who
are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at
least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate
blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger
also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
