After the American Red Cross issued an emergency request for blood donations in July, many donors generously rolled up their sleeves. Currently, blood products are being distributed to hospitals almost as quickly as donations are coming in. All blood types, especially O negative, A negative and B negative, are still urgently needed.

Blood and platelets are needed for many reasons. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients and organ transplant recipients, as well as those receiving treatment for cancer or sickle cell disease, may depend on lifesaving transfusions. In fact, every two seconds a patient in the US needs a blood transfusion.

The Red Cross, on behalf of the hospitals and patients it serves, appreciates all those who take the time to help save lives.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities:

August 29 from 1-7pm, Gibson Hall, 101 W Eldora Ave., Weeping Water
