Red Cross Needs Blood Donations

Posted: Updated:

(KATV) The American Red Cross is asking more blood donors to step up. The organization says blood donations are at the lowest level in 15-years.

Red Cross officials say all blood types are needed, especially O-negative, O-positive, A-negative and B-negative.

Officials say summer is typically a slow time of year, but the extreme heat may be keeping donors away.

Donations are down more than 10-percent across the country.
