There’s a critical need for blood donations after winter storms. Here’s how to help in Georgia

Last week’s winter storms is impacting the nations blood and platelet supply. The American Red Cross says the cold weather and storms forced it to cancel blood drives in 30-states.

The Red Cross is asking healthy donors to donate, including here in Georgia. As always, there is a critical need for type “o” blood.
