The recent severe winter weather forced the cancelation of more than 80 Red Cross blood drives across Middle Tennessee, Southern Kentucky and some counties in
Illinois and Missouri resulting in the shortfall of 2,300 combined blood and
platelet donations since Monday, Feb. 16.
Blood donors of all types – especially those with types O negative, B negative and A
negative blood – and platelet donors are needed!
To schedule an appointment to donate, we encourage all eligible donors to please
download the Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS
(1-800-733-2767).
