Critical call for blood and platelets: Give with Red Cross now
Blood supply still fragile after blood emergency; donors urged to help save lives this fall

COLUMBIA, MO (Sept. 9, 2024) – In September, the American Red Cross stresses the
continuing critical need for blood products to ensure patient care. Donors of all blood
types are asked to give now to keep blood supply levels rising after a summer shortage.
Type O blood donors and those giving platelets are especially needed.

A steady increase in lifesaving blood products is vital to ensuring hospitals stay ready for any
situation this fall. As National Preparedness Month continues, the Red Cross highlights the
importance of having a strong supply of blood products already on hand for disasters and
emergencies of all kinds and to meet the needs of patients every day.

Now is the time to book an appointment and help patients counting on lifesaving
transfusions. To schedule a time to give blood or platelets, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call
1-800-RED CROSS or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App. In thanks, those who come to
give Sept. 1-15, 2024, will receive an exclusive Red Cross raglan T-shirt, while supplies last.

All who come to give Sept. 16-30, 2024, will get a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of choice. For
details, visit RedCrossBlood.org/Fall.
