The winter storm put the American Red Cross in desperate need of blood donations.
Red Cross regions in the southeast reported that more than 6,000 blood donations could not be collected because of canceled drives. 800 of those were in South Carolina.
In the northeast, Red Cross regions lost more than 2,200 blood donations.
The American Red Cross asks you schedule an appointment to give blood through the American Red Cross at one of the following blood drives. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767) or visit www.redcrossblood.org for more information or to schedule an appointment to donate blood or platelets.
