As we celebrate Independence Day and the freedoms we enjoy, it's also a great time to remember that one simple act can give someone else the chance to celebrate another birthday, another holiday, or another day with the people they love.
We're excited to bring back Merrimac's community blood drive on Thursday, July 16 from 9AM-2PM, and we need your help to make this new tradition a success. The Red Cross is announcing a blood shortage shortly, so it's never been more important. We're also giving away two raffle basket prizes to attendees!
Schedule your appointment today:
• https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?order=DATE&range=10&zipSponsor=Merrimac
• Or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767)
Appointments are encouraged to help us serve everyone efficiently, but walk-ins are welcome as space allows.
Thank you for supporting our community and for helping ensure that lifesaving blood is available for patients when they need it most. We hope you'll join us again in July and help make Merrimac's newest community tradition a lasting success.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
