Since the Red Cross issued its first-ever blood crisis alert, severe winter weather has further complicate d efforts to rebuild the blood supply. Hundreds of blood drives have been c anceled across the country due to winter storms in January, forcing about 6 ,500 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected.
As the ef fects from the spread of the omicron variant and winter weather persist, pe ople are urged to make an appointment now to give blood or platelets in the weeks ahead by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood .org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
