The Red Cross has issued an appeal for blood donors of all types due to a critical blood shortage across our nation.
In May and June, donations were at the lowest level the Red Cross has seen in this timeframe in over a dozen years, while demand for blood products remained steady. Because of that, the Red Cross needs blood donors now more than ever. All types are needed, but especially O negative, which can be used to treat any patient.
We highly encourage all type O negative blood donors who meet the eligibility requirements to double the difference by becoming a double red cell donor. If eligible, you can give to give two donations at once.
Schedule is subject to change. Call 1-800-733-2767 to schedule appointments or visit the
E-donor site at www.redcrossblood.org.Call 1-866-236-3276 to ask questions about donating blood.
