The American Red Cross continues to experience a severe blood shortage. Red Cross officials say blood donations are being distributed faster than they are coming in, and the supply has fallen below the five-day level the Red Cross tries to maintain. The organization says all types of blood are needed, but there’s a particular need for type O.
Locally, a blood drive is taking place today in Wanatah from 7:00 a.m. to noon at Sacred Heart Church at 204 North Ohio Street. Drives will also be held tomorrow in Union Mills from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Conservation Club House at 1 Mill Pond Road, and this coming Friday from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Community Wellness Center of Winamac at 120 West 15th Street.
