According to the American Red Cross, every 2-seconds someone in the US needs blood. To help meet the constant demand for blood donations and prevent blood shortages this winter, the Red Cross is urging individuals and organizations to be winter heroes by hosting a blood drive. Right now, the Red Cross needs about 6,500 additional groups across the country to host blood drives in December, January and February to ensure blood will be there for patients. During the winter, there is often a decrease in the number of blood drives, which can contribute to blood shortages. www.RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive
