With half as many blood products currently in the Red Cross inventory as this time
last year, we’re issuing an emergency call for blood and platelet donors of all
types.

Unseasonably early warm weather may be a contributing factor to the 50,000 donation
shortfall in June as many regular donors got an early start on summer activities,
and aren’t taking time to give blood or platelets. But the need remains constant. In
fact, every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood.

In Glasgow today  the Red Cross will be at Lera B. Mitchell Clubhouse from 11 until 4 pm, at Immanuel Baptist Church from 2 until 7 pm and Wednesdaty at SCRTC from 6:30 am until 11:30 am
