MINNEAPOLIS – The American Red Cross continues to urge donors of all blood types to act now and make an appointment to give blood amid the ongoing national blood crisis.
Just three additional donors at every blood drive could help further stabilize the blood supply and ensure patients continue receiving lifesaving care.
Since issuing only the second blood crisis in Red Cross history in late July, thousands of generous donors have stepped up to help save lives.
At the same time, the blood supply remains under severe pressure, just as many communities transition to back-to-school schedules and people enjoy final summer plans.
When fewer donors are available to give, the impact on available lifesaving blood products can be significant — especially when the blood supply is already facing a four-year summer low.
