The American Red Cross declared its first national blood crisis on January 11.
How is this affecting the tri-state?
Are we still in a crisis?
Theo Boots with the American Red Cross says that we are, but she is seeing a rise in donations.
According to Theo, hospitals only have a one day supply and this puts doctors in a dilemma.
They have to decide who receives blood transfusions and who has to wait.
If you donate next month the red cross will send you a $10 Amazon.com gift card through email.
