American Red Cross urgently searching for blood donors

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - As the American Red Cross continues to experience a severe blood shortage, the organization is looking for blood donors of all types, especially type O and those giving platelets.

Donors can schedule an appointment by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767), or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.

Donors who give blood between July 1-6 will receive a Red Cross embroidered hat, while supplies last. And donors who come to give July 7-31 will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email, plus a chance to win gas for a year (a $5,000 value).
