The American Red Cross is offering three upcoming blood donation opportunities in Santa Cruz County. With seasonal declines due to the holidays, travel, severe weather, and winter illnesses, like the flu, all blood type donors are needed. The upcoming drives will be held on December 4th and 8th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 220 Elk Street in Santa Cruz, and December 12th at Resurrection Church in Aptos.
