Winter storms intensified Red Cross emergency blood shortage

Weather has forced blood drive cancellations across the nation to start the new year. As the weather warms up, at least for the next week or so, the American Red Cross needs donors to make an appointment to help rebuild the blood supply. Donors are vital to ensuring those going through cancer treatment, accident victims, and other patients have access to blood products they count on.
