TAUNTON, Mass., Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Rexel Energy Solutions will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Thursday, September 6, 2018 from 10 AM to 3 PM at the Holiday Inn Taunton in Governor's III Ballroom located at 700 Myles Standish Blvd. Taunton, MA 02780.

"Hosting a blood drive coincides with Rexel Energy Solutions' core values of giving back to the community," said Christopher Monoson, President and General Manager. "With a simple blood donation, we have the ability to help save the life of someone who could be a coworker, loved one or neighbor."

Blood is routinely transfused to patients with cancer and other diseases, premature babies, organ transplant recipients and trauma victims, according to the Red Cross.

"We urge community members to donate blood and help ensure that patients in local hospitals have a supply of blood ready and waiting before an emergency occurs," Monoson added. "There's no better feeling than knowing that your blood donation may give someone a second chance at life."

Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, B negative and A negative. According to the Red Cross, type O negative is the universal blood type that can be safely transfused to anyone, and is often used to treat trauma patients.
