The American Red Cross says is reporting a historically low supply of blood. The agency supplies 40% of the country’s blood. Donors are urged to schedule an appointment using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcross.org or calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
There is no blood donation waiting period for individuals who have gotten a flu shot or COVID-19 vaccine or booster as long as they are symptom free.
All individuals who give blood between December 17 and January 2 will receive a Red Cross long sleeved T-shirt, while supplies last.
Donors are asked to schedule an appointment ahead of time. The following opportunities are available for giving blood:
