Williamson County Chamber: The American Red Cross Is Currently In A Critical Blood Shortage

Press release from Williamson County Chamber:

August 18, 2021

The American Red Cross is currently in a Critical Blood Shortage–all blood types are needed! With less than 1/2 day supply of type O and seeing elective surgeries having to be canceled due to the shortage, your donations are extremely important. Our need for transfusions has increased by 12% with the rise of covid related illness…and we are seeing the lowest turnout in donors since the beginning of the pandemic. Please come in and help us save lives! Don’t forget to download the Red Cross app to your phone so you can see where your blood has been sent.

Please feel free to contact Brandie Spradley at brandie.spradley@redcross.org or 615-416-1259 if you have any questions or if you would like to host a drive!
