Blood Donors Needed for Summer Shortage

By Tom Zimmerman Jun 10, 2026 | 5:00 AM

The American Red Cross is issuing an urgent call for blood and platelet donors as summer travel and rising temperatures threaten the area’s blood supply.

Officials report a drop in scheduled donations over the last few weeks.

To encourage donors, anyone who gives blood between now and June 28th will receive a fifteen-dollar e-gift card and an automatic entry to win a seventy-five hundred dollar gift card.

You can schedule an appointment on the Red Cross Blood Donor app or at Red-Cross-Blood-dot-org.
