The American Red Cross is encouraging Minnesotans to roll up a sleeve this summer and donate blood. Minnesota Red Cross spokeswoman Sue Thesenga says this is the time of year when blood donations tend to drop.
She says you can safely donate blood every 56 days and a lot of people donate more than once or twice a year.
The American Red Cross is holding a blood drive on Tuesday, July 25th from noon to 6 at Hilltop Celebration Church in Fergus Falls. Register now to donate at the American Red Cross Blood Donation website – redcrossblood.org or by calling Hilltop Celebration Church.
Walk-ins are also welcome. Hilltop Celebration Church is located on Highway 210 East across from Prairie Wetlands in Fergus Falls.
