 Recently, the American Red Cross declared the first-ever national blood crisis as donations have dropped off significantly since the start of the pandemic. This crisis is forcing doctors to make difficult decisions on who receives blood, which is very disheartening. Please come out on the 12th annual City of Columbia Lifesavers Blood Drive on Friday, February 11, and do your part to reverse this national shortage of blood. Donors at the blood drive will receive a $10 Amazon gift card. So please sign up online today at redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code LIFESAVERS to make your life-saving donation.
