GP VFW Post Holding American Red Cross Blood Drive at Fruitdale Grange

Donate blood and help save lives.

The Grants Pass VFW Post 2302 is holding an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Wednesday at the Fruitdale Grange at 1440 Parkdale Drive. Tomorrow's blood drive runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m..

To schedule an appointment, please call 1-(800)-REDCROSS or visit "RedCrossBlood.org" and enter "VFW Grants Pass."

Maximize your blood donation and help more patients. If you are an eligible type O, B- or A- donor, consider making a Power Red donation. Red blood cells are the most commonly transfused blood component.

Blood has a shelf life of 42 days, which means ongoing donations are key to ensure medical needs are met. Type O blood donors and those giving platelets are especially needed during the summer season.

If you give blood to the American Red Cross in June, you are eligible to receive a $15 gift card via email. You will also be automatically entered for a chance to win one of two $7,000 gift cards. Terms apply. Visit "RedCrossBlood.org/June."
