Blood Shortage Crisis and Campus Drives | Bozeman News
Description
The American Red Cross is in a critical blood shortage, with national supplies down 25% in June—especially for O-positive and B-negative types. Hospital demand is soaring, while summer travel and fewer school drives have slashed donations. Montana State University stepped in with a campus blood drive, part of a summer series to boost local giving. Donors like Bill McKenney, who donated to help his wife after childbirth, and Patrick Brown, an O-positive survivor who found the process quick and painless, are helping replenish dwindling reserves. Veteran donor Rob Jacobs, giving for 40 years, sees it as a simple, meaningful act that can save lives across the country. The Red Cross urges everyone to donate—whether at campus events or their Bozeman center—because every drop can be a lifeline.
