The American Red Cross has seen a steady decline in blood donations, which has led to a drop in inventory. As a result, they just announced an emergency need for blood donors to the public. Currently, the U.S. is facing the lowest number of people giving blood in 20 years. The Red Cross blood supply has fallen to critically low levels in recent weeks across the country. With blood products currently going to hospitals faster than blood donations are coming in, the Red Cross has had to limit distributions of some of the most transfused blood types to hospitals in recent weeks. Additional challenges lie ahead as winter weather and seasonal respiratory illnesses like the flu and COVID-19 may compound the dire blood supply situation the nation currently faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


All blood types are needed during this critical time so please sign up to give blood on Friday January 12. We need at least 5-8 more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know? Cancer patients are the #1 recipients of blood products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
