The American Red Cross office in Yakima is hoping you'll give blood this month. This month Red Cross officials say they need your blood for the patients in area hospitals.
the American Red Cross helped 23 people affected by four home fires in Yakima County within the last week. Three of those fires happened in Yakima City, the fourth in Union Gap.
Red Cross officials say while donors across the country have rolled up a sleeve to give this summer, the need for blood and platelets remains crucial for patients relying on lifesaving transfusions.
