Red Cross Blood Drive in Neillsville Today
Monday, August 4th, 2014 -- 8:19 AM
-The American Red Cross is facing a looming blood shortage, leading to an urgent need for donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve and give.Donations through the Red Cross are down approximately 8 percent over the last 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer donations than expected. The number of donors continues to decline, and the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming weeks.
There is a blood drive happening today in Neillsville at the American Legion from 11:30am to 5:30pm. There will be another in Thorp at the Fire Hall tomorrow, August 5th, from Noon to 6pm.
