Battle of the Badges Blood Drive Set for Wednesday

(Undated) — The American Red Cross continues to warn of a “blood supply crisis.” The Red Cross announced an “emergency blood shortage” in July, and despite thousands of individuals stepping forward to help, they say the situation has escalated into a blood supply crisis. Account Manager Donor Recruitment, Zachary Elmore, says that for just the second time in its history, the Red Cross has declared a “national blood crisis.” Your next chance to donate is coming up Wednesday. The Red Cross will be at the Robinson Civic Center for a “Battle of the Badges” blood drive from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. To make an appointment to donate, visit redcrossblood.org.
