A Blood Crisis Warning Declared
The American Red Cross has declared the second national blood crisis in its history. All blood types are needed, but the situation is especially dire for type O. The blood supply fell nearly 25% in June, and blood donations are now at a four-year summer low. Donors are asked to take action immediately to help save lives.
Join your fellow Currituck employees and citizens to “Help Save Lives” by donating blood at one of our upcoming blood drives.

9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

For the best donation experience, it is recommend that you schedule an appointment, with the Red Cross and enter in the Sponsor Code field: CCGOVT in the “Find a Drive” search or zip code search; and it will go to the event. Register Now to help us achieve our goal to collect 18 “lifesaving” units of blood.
To streamline your donation experience and save you about 15 minutes visit RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass to read the pre-donation material and complete your health history questions. The questionnaire can only be completed on the day of your donation appointment.
Maximize your blood donation. Help more patients. If you are an eligible type O, B – or A – donor, consider making a Power Red donation. Red blood cells are the most commonly transfused blood component.
Currituck County has been a leader in the blood drives and our employees continue to rise to the need.
The American Red Cross will be giving out $15 gift card to donors!
