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.

“This year's disasters have a hurricane that displaces thousands of people from their houses all over the country and disturbs the nation's blood supply for patients,” said Lee Eastburn, Executive Director of Red Cross of Southern Missouri. “When we enter the Spring disaster season, the families rely on the fact that we come together as a community and support them if help cannot wait in future crises. Take us today by making a financial donation or giving blood or platelets. “
