Blood Drive

Date: 2020 Date TBD
Time: TBD
Place: Chamber of Commerce, 261 Broad St., Windsor

The Blood Drive is sponsored by the Windsor Chamber of Commerce.

There’s no substitute for blood. When a patient receives blood, it was given in advance by a generous donor.  Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation. 

The Red Cross provides about 40% of our nation’s blood and blood components, all from generous volunteer donors. But supply can’t always meet demand because only about 3% of age-eligible people donate blood yearly. Each new donor helps us meet patient needs.
