Red Cross declares blood shortage emergency

By Joey Martin Jul 13, 2026 | 5:12 AM
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (ADAMS) – The American Red Cross is facing an emergency blood shortage, saying it needs donors to give now and take steps to protect patient care.
A steep decline in blood donations since the end of May has created a growing gap between supply and patient need. The Red Cross says every donation is critical to rebuilding the nation’s blood supply.
The most important way to help end the blood shortage is to book an appointment. We’re asking donors of all blood types to make an appointment to give blood, platelets or plasma as soon as possible. As a thank-you, all who come to give July 13-31, 2026, will receive a Fandango Movie Ticket by email (up to $15 ticket price and fees). Additional details can be found at RedCrossBlood.org/July.
