UNDATED (WTAQ) – Due to dwindling supplies, the American Red Cross is seeking blood and platelet donations.
“Right now, blood products are being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in, which is why we are making this emergency request for donations,” Nick Gehrig, communications director, Red Cross Blood Services, said in a news release. “Donations are urgently needed now to meet the needs of hospital patients in the coming days and weeks. If you’ve thought about giving blood and helping to save lives, now is the time to do it. It’s the blood donations on the shelves that help save lives when an emergency occurs.”
The Red Cross says the Independence Day holiday and summer vacations have impacted many donors’ schedules.
