Red Cross Blood Crisis Hits Hard | Omaha News

The American Red Cross is sounding the alarm on a national blood crisis — the highest alert in its history — as supplies plummet due to canceled drives and declining donations. With over 2,500 events canceled this year and reserves at dangerously low levels, hospitals are struggling to meet patient needs. Just three more donors at one recent drive could have met its goal — and more cancellations may be unavoidable without urgent help. If you can give, book an appointment via the Red Cross Blood App, call 800-RED-CROSS, or visit redcrossblood.org. Plus, donate by May 15th and get a $50 gift card plus free Zoo World admission.
