Community comes together in times of need, and now that spirit is needed more than ever. The Red Cross is reporting that hospitals are experiencing serious blood shortage, and local patients are depending on generous donors to help ensure lifesaving blood is available when it is needed most.
The Red Cross is asking residents to consider supporting and participating in their upcoming community drive, New Britain Battle of the Badges. A single donation of blood can help save more than one life, and every donor has the power to make a meaningful difference for patients facing surgery, cancer treatment, traumatic injuries, and other medical emergencies.
Please join in helping meet this urgent need by signing up to donate blood at the Red Cross’ upcoming drive:
New Britain Battle of the Badges Blood Drive (Red Cross)
Date: Thursday, July 30, 2026

If you are eligible to donate, please consider making an appointment and invite family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to do the same. Together, the community can show strength and compassion by stepping up to help patients and hospitals in need.
