Katherine from Memorial Blood Centers was saying on a community spotlight program with Northstar Ford that they experience donation slowdowns during certain times of the year, but now they are experiencing a blood shortage and need people to donate now.
The holiday season is upon us, and I couldn't be more grateful; however, we must not let our guard down. The American Red Cross is begging for help amid an emergency blood shortage.
