The American Red Cross is urging the public to donate blood as Atlantic hurricane season begins and summer storm threats increase. The Eastern North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota Chapter warns that severe weather can cancel blood drives and disrupt collections, creating shortages that put extra stress on surgeons and hospital systems. Blood drives are scheduled in Fargo, Fergus Falls, Jamestown on June 17th at Stutsman Harley Davidson, and other nearby areas. The Red Cross emphasizes that local participation is more important than ever to maintain a stable blood supply during storm season. People can sign up or find drives near them by visiting redcrossblood.org.
