The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage. Donors of all types, especially with Type O, and platelet donors are urged to make an appointment to give now in the weeks ahead to overcome this current shortage. The national Red Cross blood inventory is the lowest it’s been at this time of the year since 2015.
A blood drive will be held on October 7th at the First Christian Church, 504 Bohleber Drive in Carmi, from 2 pm-7pm. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving.
Schedule your appointment by going to www.redcrossblood.org, or by downloading the Red Cross app from your phone’s app store. You can also call 800-733-2767
