The American Red Cross has an urgent need for blood and platelet donors of all types to help prevent a blood shortage and ensure an adequate blood supply.

According to the communications director at the American Red Cross, someone in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion every two seconds, and every day the Red Cross must collect 15,000 donations to meet the needs of patients.

Platelet donors and those with O-negative, B-negative, and A-negative blood types are especially needed. To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-Red-Cross or visit RedCrossBlood.org.
