Right now, the Red Cross has less than a three-day supply of most blood types, and blood products are being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in. Donors of all blood types are urgently needed. A low blood supply may mean that critical medical treatments or emergency care may be delayed or canceled. Won’t you help ensure there is blood on the shelf for those in need?

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
