Last winter, the American Red Cross declared a severe, nationwide blood shortage brought on by low blood supply and weather disruptions. In response, our community has continued to show incredible generosity and support for the ongoing need for blood. At our most recent blood drive in August, every appointment was filled, demonstrating the local commitment to helping neighbors in need. Dosher is grateful to everyone who has donated blood and looks forward to another strong turnout at our upcoming blood drive to help ensure this life-saving resource is available to all who need it. All donors are welcome. Please bring a photo ID. Community members who have questions may call the Red Cross at 910-762-2683 or go to RedCrossBlood.org.
