Red Cross seeking blood donors
The American Red Cross is facing a looming short
age of the most needed blood types, resulting in an
urgent need for eligible donors with O negative, B neg

blood donors are also being asked to help ensure the
shelves are stocked for patients.
Summer can be among the most challenging times

break.
