The American Red Cross is calling on healthy St. Lawrence County blood donors after hundreds of blood drive cancellations due to the recent snow storm that impacted more than half the country.

Every day thousands of patients rely on lifesaving blood donations. The need for blood is constant, even during snowstorms and the COVID-19 pandemic. To help ensure lifesaving patient care isn’t impacted, individuals in areas unaffected by severe weather are urged to make appointments to donate.
