Urgent: WA Blood Donors Needed NOW-Can You Save a Life?

The American Red Cross is continuing to push for blood donors, in the ongoing critical need for blood to keep the supply stable as Fall begins. Donors of all blood types are needed. However, the need for those with type O blood is especially critical at this time.

Shocking: Only 3 Out of 100 Americans Donate Blood

Because the blood supply is at very critical levels, EVERY SINGLE DONATION is necessary for all patients relying on lifesaving transfusions. This includes victims of vehicle accidents and those living with sickle cell disease.
