Local communities depend on the Red Cross, which relies on donations of time, money and blood to fulfill its humanitarian mission.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t take a cape or superpowers to be a hero. By donating blood, eligible donors can help save the lives of patients in need. Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations by organizing a blood drive, volunteering to assist with Red Cross activities, or creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive online at <a href=\"https:\/\/sleevesup.redcrossblood.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/sleevesup.redcrossblood.org\/<\/a> and asking others to make a lifesaving donation.<\/p>\n<p>To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcross.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Upcoming blood donation opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adams County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3\/17\/2015: 12 p.m. &#8211; 6 p.m., South Adams Senior Center, 825 Hendrick St. in Berne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allen County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3\/18\/2015: 10:30 a.m. &#8211; 2:30 p.m., North Campus &#8211; Student Life Building, 4900 St. Joe Rd. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>3\/18\/2015: 3:30 p.m. &#8211; 7:30 p.m., New Haven Middle School, 900 Prospect Ave. in New Haven.<\/li>\n<li>3\/19\/2015: 1 p.m. &#8211; 4 p.m., Northern Indiana Public Service Company, 1501 Hale St. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>3\/25\/2015: 8:30 a.m. &#8211; 11 a.m., Reimbold &amp; Anderson, 5750 Coventry Lane, Suite 110 in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>3\/26\/2015: 8 a.m. &#8211; 11 a.m., Brown Mackie College, 3000 East Coliseum Blvd. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>3\/26\/2015: 1 p.m. &#8211; 3:30 p.m., Northeast Indiana Innovation Center, 3201 Stellhorn Rd. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>3\/31\/2015: 11 a.m. &#8211; 5 p.m., Parkview Hospital, 2200 Randallia in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>3\/31\/2015: 1 p.m. &#8211; 3:30 p.m., Wal-mart, 5311 Coldwater Rd. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Huntington County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3\/27\/2015: 8:30 a.m. &#8211; 2:30 p.m., Parkview Huntington Hospital, 2001 Stults Rd. in Huntington.<\/li>\n<li>3\/28\/2015: 7 a.m. &#8211; 11 a.m., Dillman Church, 8888 South 1100 W 90 in Warren.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>LaGrange County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3\/16\/2015: 12 p.m. &#8211; 6 p.m., LaGrange First United Methodist Church, 209 W.
