MADISON (WKOW) -- As World Blood Donor Day approaches on Friday, the American Red Cross says that blood and platelet donors are critically needed to combat a drastic shortfall in donations over the last several weeks.
Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with type O blood and donors giving platelets, according to the Red Cross.
Record-breaking summer travel and severe weather conditions are expected to persist all season long, which may prevent donors from being able to give.
When fewer people donate, less blood is available for hospital patients. You can book a time to give now by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
June 14 is World Blood Donor Day, a day meant to raise awareness of the need for a safe, diverse and stable blood supply, and to recognize volunteer blood donors.
Those who come to give June 10-30, 2024, will get a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of choice.
