August blood drives

The American Red Cross New York-Penn Region continues to see a decline in blood inventory levels. Summer is traditionally a time when blood donations decline by 10 to 15 percent in part, due to people vacationing.

Our region is at a shortfall of 571 units, which equates to about a half day supply.

Blood drives are planned, and donors are needed.

• August 16, 2-7 p.m., Ontario Town Hall
• August 16, 1-6 p.m., Macedon Public Library, 32 Main Street
