Article Presented By Pickaway Ross CTC…

April is National Volunteer Month! The Red Cross depends on the generosity of volunteers to ensure blood products are available when patients need them. Our blood drives and donation centers also depend on our incredible volunteers (you!) every single day. Thank you for your lifesaving gift of voluntary blood donation. You can encourage others to volunteer with you as a blood donor during National Volunteer month. 

FOR DRIVES APRIL 1-23: Together with PEANUTS®, we’ll remind donors to put kindness into action, and that it’s cool to be kind and help save lives. All who come to give April 1-23 will receive an EXCLUSIVE Red Cross and PEANUTS Joe Cool T-shirt, while supplies last.
