The American Red Cross continues to experience an emergency blood shortage and asks the public to book a time to give as soon as possible to ensure lifesaving medical care is not impacted. Severe weather events across the country, including the remnants of Hurricane Debby, have forced the cancellation of dozens of blood drives in recent weeks, making it tougher for the blood supply to recover.
First-time donors and those who give regularly are critical to blood supply recovery. To make an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-REDCROSS.
