April is National Volunteer Month. The Red Cross depends on the generosity of volunteers to ensure blood products are available when patients need them.

Be a champion for patients this month. Help an accident victim, a patient with cancer or a new mother who needs blood during childbirth by making a donation appointment today. As a thank you, all who come to give blood April 1-18 will receive an exclusive Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

All who come to give April 19-May 19 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a travel trailer camper that sleeps eight. Plus, they’ll also receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice, all courtesy of Suburban Propane. Terms apply; see www.rcblood.org/camper
