Day of the Red Cross planned for March 26th

Springfield, Mon (March 17, 2025) – The American Red Cross in South Missouri gives a call to make sure that nobody donates a disaster on the Red Cross on March 26 on March 26.

In the first 50 days of 2025, volunteers of the Red Cross reacted to more large disasters in the USA as days – including the forest fires in Los Angeles and floods in Kentucky. And that is about everyday crises such as house fire that have built life here in South Missouri. In the meantime, more blood donations from the Red Cross have not moved in this year due to the weather than in all years 2024.
