One way folks can help is to donate blood – the American Red Cross is reporting that widespread blood drive cancellations are leading to critical shortages. Here are some options:

 1) You can schedule an appointment at the Vitalant blood donation center at 13952 Denver W Pkwy #335 in Golden.

 2) You can make an appointment at the Children’s Hospital Colorado blood donor center. Call: 720-777-5398

 3) I’m having trouble with the American Red Cross website, but it says you can use the Blood Donor mobile app to schedule your appointment or call 1-800-733-2767.
