The American Red Cross continues to experience a severe blood shortage. Red Cross officials say blood donations are being distributed faster than they are coming in, and the supply has fallen below the five-day level the Red Cross tries to maintain. The organization says all types of blood are needed, but there’s a particular need for type O.
Locally, a blood drive will be taking place in Warsaw tomorrow from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Walmart. Other Red Cross blood drives are scheduled during the month of August in Warsaw, Pierceton, North Webster, and Rochester.
