(Undated) – The American Red Cross is once again asking for all eligible donors to step up and donate. According to the Red Cross, only 3 out of every 100 people donate blood, and every year, fewer and fewer blood donors step up. During the summer, this need becomes more acute and can lead to blood shortages as donations decline, especially around holidays like July Fourth. There are a handful of chances to donate this month in Crawford County, the first of which is June 13th in Oblong. The Red Cross will be set up at the Community Center from noon-6. Learn more about the donation process and find the drive in your area by visiting redcrossblood.org.
