There is still time to give blood locally and help the American Red Cross prevent a blood shortage.
St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Butler is hosting a drive Tuesday from noon to 5:30 p.m.
A campaign to recruit donors spotlights the missing letters of A, B, and O which represent how these major blood types are missing from hospitals. Everyone who donates between July 2nd and 7th will receive an exclusive Red Cross Missing Types T-shirt while supplies last.
Those interested or able to donate are asked to make an appointment by downloading the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
