Texoma Regional Blood Center needs donors

If your blood type is A-Negative or O-Negative, the Texoma Regional Blood Center needs your help to save a life. They are in critical need of A-Negative and O-Negative blood. Overnight, their supply was completely used up, and the shelves were empty Thursday morning.

Five area hospitals depend on the blood center for that blood, and while they can call on other centers to share supplies, blood banks nationwide are facing the same shortages.
