The American Red Cross is looking for you to step up and help give blood or platelets this month to help build up the blood supply after thousands of donations went uncollected last month due to severe weather.  Northeastern Wisconsin Regional Communications Director Jennifer Warren says all types of blood are needed, especially for people with type O negative.  She says the need locally and nationally is greater than usual, and area blood donations will help the blood banks at Door County Medical Center and wherever the greatest need is around the country.

Warren notes that the American Red Cross has scheduled two blood drives in Door County later this month and another two in Kewaunee County in early March.  You can book a time to give blood or platelets by visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling the Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767.  The local schedule of blood drives is listed below.
