The 5 Lines of Service Expo is an opportunity to learn about the various services the American Red Cross offers! We'll feature our Disaster Cycle Services, Service to the Armed Forces, and more! Come visit these tables and see how the Red Cross is delivering our mission and find out how you can help.
The Faces of the Mission portrait series highlights one volunteer from nearly every one of the 30 areas of Red Cross services. In unison, these disciplines allow the Red Cross to complete its far-reaching humanitarian mission - to alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies and to start people on their path toward recovery.
Donate Blood
Announcing National Blood Shortage!
The American Red Cross national blood supply has fallen to critically low levels which is dangerous because every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
Through our Biomedical Services mission, the Red Cross collects and processes approximately 40 percent of the nation's blood supply, making us the largest single supplier of blood and blood products in the United States. These are 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.
During the event, we're offering Whole Blood and Power Red blood donation appointments for those interested. This is optional; it is NOT required to attend the event. It's available if you are interested and able to donate blood. Please select your preference in your RSVP. (If interested, we'll reach out to you for scheduling.)
