Denise Brindle from the American Red Cross spoke to Rotary about the services available. She mentioned that her territory consists of three counties being Mahoning, Trumbull, and Columbiana. The Red Cross main office is located in Cleveland. One service available is the "Chapter" which is disaster relief, and the other service is Blood. In this area the Red Cross services 58 hospitals each needing 900 pints of blood daily. She tries to put together 30 blood drives per month, and also per county. There are some limitations, in which Denise would be the one to contact. In the works are 2 blood drives, and further information is to follow.
