The American Red Cross is in desperate need of blood donations, according to American Red Cross External Communications Manager, Laura McGuire. To schedule an appointment to give blood, please visit redcrossblood.org.
Since March, the American Red Cross has seen a number of blood drives get cancelled because of COVID-19, but now that hospitals are starting elective surgeries, the need for blood donors is extremely high.
The American Red Cross is also looking for anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 to donate convalescent plasma to help those who are currently fighting COVID-19.
Laura McGuire with the American Red Cross was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
