Red Cross SE Minnesota Blood Donations

The American Red Cross continues to experience a severe blood shortage.

Melanie Tschida, Executive Director, American Red Cross Southeast Minnesota, says they really encourage people to donate blood so when someone you know or love needs it, it’s available, which people always assume.

Tschida says one easy way to schedule your blood donation ahead of time with the Red Cross Blood Donor APP. She says not only does the APP have a feature that allows you to follow where your donation is being used.

To download the free APP or schedule a blood donation, go to www.redcross.org and enter your zip code to see the closest blood drive.

KWNG and Bluff Country KCUE are hosting our first ever Station Blood Drive with the Bloodmobile tomorrow in the radio station parking lot, 474 Guernsey Lane, from 9 am to 3 pm.
