Beth Elders on blood donation

Suggested Caption:

The executive director of Greater St. Louis American Red Cross Beth Elders explains the reasons behind the blood shortage:

“This winter, as often happens, we have seen blood donations drop significantly, with many people busier during the holidays, others experiencing illnesses and unable to donate, and weather forcing blood drives to be cancelled,” Elders said. “With more remote work since the pandemic, that also means fewer people are out in the community where our drives are located. All of these factors have come together to put us into an emergency need and national shortage.”
