State Representative Nicole Klarides-Ditria (R-105) joined the American Red Cross Blood Drive at the Seymour Land Trust Hall Thursday morning and rolled up her sleeve to help others. She was joined by State Senate Republican Leader Kevin Kelly (R-21). Unfortunately, due to last minute legislative business, co-sponsor State Senator Eric Berthel (R-32) was unable to attend.

The event was a huge success with every appointment filled with the Red Cross asking walk-ins to schedule for a different day so they could accommodate all the requests.

“I want to send my appreciation and thanks to the Land Trust for hosting this amazing event in our community, the Red Cross for their hard work and each and every person who donated blood to help continue the Red Cross mission of saving lives,” Rep. Klarides-Ditria said.

For information about blood donation or other ways to help, please go to the American Red Cross website: https://www.redcrossblood.org/

According to the Red Cross, donating blood only takes about one hour. The donation itself is only about 8-10 minutes on average. Restrictions due to weight, health or travel may apply and donors are urged to check their eligibility beforehand by going to https://www.redcross.org/give-blood.html or by contacting a local chapter.

Donors can also download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information.
