Red Cross urges blood donations during August

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT)- The American Red Cross has seen a shortfall of about 25,000 blood donations in the first two months of the summer, making it hard to keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood products.

The Red Cross desperately needs type O negative, type O positive, Type B negative and Type A negative blood donors. By making an appointment to give blood in August, donors can help keep the national blood supply from falling to shortage levels.

All donors who give throughout the month of August will get a $10 e-gift card to a movie merchant of their choice. Upcoming blood donation opportunities through the remainder of August are below:
