Blood drive
The American Red Cross will host a blood drive on Thursday (July 22) at the Winthrop Barn, from noon – 5 p.m. Call 1 – 800 – 733‑2767 or visit redcrossblood.org and enter MethowValley to schedule an appointment. According to a Red Cross press release, the need for blood and platelets remains crucial as the organization continues to experience a severe blood shortage of all blood types — especially type O. In most cases, those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine can donate.
