There is an urgent need for blood in Tuscaloosa according to the American Red Cross.

Blood donations are needed now that surgical procedures and patient treatments have resumed. Donations were impacted by the Corona 10 virus.

All blood donations will be tested for COVID 19 antibodies.

A special thanks to the Tuscaloosa Police Department who recently had almost 100 police officers donate blood.
