Chesterfield Area Red Cross Blood Drives Coming Up Soon

CHESTERFIELD, MO — The coronavirus pandemic has put a damper on Red Cross blood donations at a time when the country needs to significantly boost its blood supply.

The donation supply for certain blood types dwindled to less than a day's supply in recent weeks, according to the Red Cross.

Fall is typically a time when the Red Cross and other blood donation organizations replenish the country's blood supply.

Here are the Red Cross blood drives coming up in the Chesterfield area in the next few weeks. You can search for additional Red Cross blood drives from a wider area here.
