You have another opportunity Monday to donate blood in Columbia.

The American Red Cross’ central and northern Missouri chapter in Columbia says donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with type O blood and donors giving platelets. You can donate blood at the Red Cross’ Columbia blood donation center on South Providence today from  11:30 am until 6 pm.

The American Red Cross says every donation counts in the mission to keep blood products stocked for patients, including those facing life-threatening situations.
