We Are Blood, a provider of blood to Central Texas hospitals, is currently experiencing a critical shortage of O Negative and O Positive blood. With school starting, Labor Day weekend fast approaching, and the potential for severe weather in the area, the critical need for O Negative and Positive blood is anticipated to continue through the next two weeks.
Eligible donors — even those who do not know their blood type — are encouraged to take part in mobile drives or visit one of the three We Are Blood locations:
* AUSTIN NORTH: 4300 N. Lamar Blvd., Austin.
* ROUND ROCK: 2132 North Mays, Ste. 900, Round Rock.
* AUSTIN SOUTH: 3100 W. Slaughter Lane, Austin.
