The American Red Cross is issuing an emergency appeal for blood donors in Iowa. Spokesman Josh Murray says several factors are coming together to form a perfect storm — and a critical shortage of the life-giving fluid.
The shortage is across the board and Murray says all blood types are needed.
As an additional incentive, Murray says Iowans who donate a pint on or before July 31st will get a bonus.
Donating a pint of blood won’t take much time out of your schedule, and every donation has the potential to help save multiple lives.
