Emergency Blood Donations Needed

The Red Cross has issued an emergency request today

Vacations and a decrease in blood drives has been attributed to the national blood supply being down 39,000 donations.

Red Cross representative, Jan Hale, says "donations are urgently needed now to meet the needs of hospital patients in the coming days and weeks."
