American Red Cross

The American Red Cross tries to ensure that communities have access to sufficient blood as supplies are needed. As we enter summer vacation season and the Fourth of July vacation, consider doing something altruistic and donating blood. Donating blood is something we can do to help others that doesn't impact our wallets. Summer is the time of many accidents, often requiring blood. While hurricane season doesn't usually blow as far inland as Greensboro, many along the coast, and beyond, will suffer weather related accidents. Let's have a ready supply of all types. Recently, we noticed a sign indicating a  need for O negative. However, no healthy blood is rejected!!!!

Here is Greensboro's  American Red Cross Center, located at 1501 Yanceyville Street. Call them at 336-333-2111 if you have any questions about the process. We're linking this picture with the Ruby Tuesday meme to raise awareness WORLDWIDE. This photo was taken from the parking lot of the United Way Volunteer Center just across the street. So, after giving blood, you could walk over and consider giving of your time. Alternatively, check out the Facebook page of the volunteer center!

A good and altruistic message in your words and photo.

But what's this sign about winning a cruise?? If so, I might overcome my fear of needles and donate some blood.

Great photo for RT. I thought at first you were Greensboro, VT, but you aren't! No buildings are that new here! Have a great week!

I would love to donate blood but I was in Germany in the early 80's and they are afraid I might have mad cow disease.

Anyway, I usually donate time at the blood drives.
