The Red Cross says thousands of people responded to a request for blood and platelet donations early this month. But it wasn’t enough.
The organization, which provides blood to 80 hospitals across Indiana, has less than a five-day supply on hand. All blood types are urgently needed, some more than others. But spokesman Rodney Wilson says you don’t need to know your blood type to donate. And if you give by August 31st, the Red Cross will email you an Amazon gift card worth five dollars.
According to the American Red Cross Website there’s a blood drive today at the Indiana Presbyterian Church at 2431 Lower Indiana Road in Vincennes.
The next blood drive in Daviess County is at Antioch Christian Church on August 18th.
