American Red Cross asks for summer blood and platelet donations

Red Cross in need of donations Red Cross in need of blood, platelet donations

The American Red Cross is looking for blood and platelet donors to avoid a dip in supply this summer.

“In addition to summer fun and holidays, severe summer weather can have a sudden impact on the ability to collect blood and platelets,” the organization says.

The American Red Cross supplies about 40% of the nation’s emergency blood supply.

Type O blood products are most needed on hospital shelves.

If you don’t know your blood type, you can learn it after donating.

Book a time to give blood or platelets by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS, or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
