Red Cross Facing Blood Crisis

Red Cross Facing Blood Crisis

July 28, 2026 News -- KRJB-KRJM-KKCQ 0

Blood supplies at the American Red Cross are so low that the Red Cross has declared a national blood crisis—just the second time the Red Cross has ever used the word crisis.  Kimberly Vosseteig, executive director of the American Red Cross for Eastern North Dakota and Western Minnesota, talks about the shortage.

Vosseteig has advice for first-time blood donors.

For information on a blood drive near you, call 1-800-RED CROSS.  Anyone who donates blood by July 31 will receive a Fandango movie ticket via email.
