The American Red Cross is presenting a number of blood drives throughout the Mid-coast region during November.

The organization asks eligible donors to make an appointment to give blood to help ensure sufficient blood supplies are available for patients this holiday season. Eligible donors with all types are needed, especially those with O negative, A negative and B negative.

Upcoming blood donation drives include:
