shortage as hospitals resume surgical procedures and patient treatments that were temporarily paused in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent weeks, hospital demand for blood products has significantly increased and patients are relying on the generosity of blood and platelet donors to help ensure hospital shelves are stocked.</p> <p>The safety of our donors, volunteers and staff remains a top priority. Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows a high standard of safety and infection control. <a href="https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/dlp/share-your-health.html">Learn more about our COVID-19 safety protocols here</a>.</p> <p>Donating blood products is essential to community health and the need for blood products is constant. The Red Cross urgently needs the help of donors and blood drive hosts to ensure blood products are readily available for patients. If you are feeling well, please make an appointment to give by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting <a href="http://www.redcrossblood.org/">RedCrossBlood.org</a> or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.</p> </div></div> <div class="button parbase"> <div class="redcross-button center" data-context="redcross-button"> <a data-aa-link-button="link button not set" target="_blank" class=" button red small" href="https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/dlp/coronavirus--covid-19--and-blood-donation.html"> <span class="contents">Learn more about coronavirus and blood donation</span> </a> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section-control parbase"> <div id="volunteer" class="section-control-container column-container background-white medium jump-link-target gutter-twenty " style="background-color: #ffffff" data-jump-text="Volunteer" data-jump-link-analytics="jump link not set" data-region-type="include" data-subsource-type="include"> <div class="box-shadow-container"> <div class="container-fluid main-content"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-10 offset-md-1"> <div class="row"> <div class="par-100 col-12 section-par one-col-100 par-1"> <div class="section_header"> <div class="section-header-container" data-title-heading="h2"> <div class="section-header-description"> <h2 class="section-header-title center large" data-aa-temporary-homepage-section-title="temp home page section title not set">Volunteer to Help Others</h2> <div class="section-header-subtitle center">Needed Now: Blood Collection Support</div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section-control parbase"> <div class="section-control-container column-container box-shadow background-white medium jump-link-target gutter-twenty " style="background-color: #ffffff" data-jump-link-analytics="jump link not set" data-region-type="include" data-subsource-type="include"> <div class="box-shadow-container"> <div class="container-fluid main-content"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-10 offset-md-1"> <div class="row"> <div class="par-33 col-lg-4 col-md-6 section-par two-col-33-66 par-1"> <div class="spacer parbase"> <div class="spacer-outer" style="padding-bottom: 1rem;"></div></div> <div class="image"> <div class="image-container image-with-caption dark " style="padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px; max-width:px"> <div class="shadow-box "> <img loading="lazy" srcset="/content/dam/redcross/get-help/vol-blood-donor-ambassador-welcome_725x900.png.transform/282/q70/feature/image.png 282w, /content/dam/redcross/get-help/vol-blood-donor-ambassador-welcome_725x900.png.transform/718/q70/feature/image.png 718w, /content/dam/redcross/get-help/vol-blood-donor-ambassador-welcome_725x900.png.transform/964/q70/feature/image.png 964w, /content/dam/redcross/get-help/vol-blood-donor-ambassador-welcome_725x900.png.transform/1288/q70/feature/image.png 1288w" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 282px, (max-width: 1023px) 718px, (max-width: 1347px) 964px, 1288px" src="/content/dam/redcross/get-help/vol-blood-donor-ambassador-welcome_725x900.png.transform/1288/q70/feature/image.png" alt="Woman squatting next to Red Cross blood drive sign smiling" class=" wide" data-emptytext="Image"/> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class="par-66 col-lg-8 col-md-6 section-par two-col-33-66 par-2"> <div class="text parbase"> <div class="rich-text-editor-content" style="padding-top:10px; padding-bottom:10px"> <p>Discover a new purpose by joining a lifesaving team to help support blood collections in your community.
