Missouri blood centers say they have not reached the point of issuing an emergency appeal yet but are watching closely

The Red Cross announced its second-ever national blood crisis on Monday, and the effects are being felt in mid-Missouri.

In July, donors will receive a Fandango Movie Ticket by email (up to $15 ticket price and fees), and in August, they will receive a $20 Amazon gift card.

Nationally, the blood supply has dropped 25% since August. There is an emergency need for platelet, type O and other donors.
