MISSOULA — Gov. Greg Gianforte encouraged Montanans to give the lifesaving gift of blood through the American Red Cross of Montana to mark the third day of his 12 Days of Giving.
“Blood donors save lives,” Gov. Gianforte said. “If Montanans are able, I encourage them to give a lifesaving gift this holiday season by donating blood at an American Red Cross of Montana blood drive.”
MTN talked with American Red Cross of Montana executive director Hannah Zuraff about the importance of donating blood during the holiday season, a time when blood donations typically decline.
