The American Red Cross is looking for blood and platelet donors to avoid a dip in supply this summer.
“In addition to summer fun and holidays, severe summer weather can have a sudden impact on the ability to collect blood and platelets,” the organization says.
The American Red Cross supplies about 40% of the nation’s emergency blood supply.
Type O blood products are most needed on hospital shelves.
If you don’t know your blood type, you can learn it after donating.
Book a time to give blood or platelets by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS, or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
