Red Cross issues Urgent Call for Donors

An urgent call is going out for donors by the American Red Cross. They are facing a blood shortage and are in desperate need for donors across the country. The Red Cross said blood and platelet donations are down approximately 8% over the last 11 weeks. They said that number continues to decline, which could lead to an emergency situation in the coming weeks. Consider giving the gift of life. All blood types are needed.
