The American Red Cross announced Tuesday that blood supplies throughout the Southeast are critically low.

Donors of all blood types are welcome, but there is an urgent need for type O negative, B negative and A negative blood donors.

Through September 30, all presenting blood and platelet donors can enter our “Give Blood & See America” drawing for a chance to win one of three $1,000 gas gift cards. Donors are welcome and encouraged to donate at any of the following blood drives in your area.
