WASHINGTON - Blood donations are always in high demand, and with the weather and power outages canceling drives in 6 states, the Red Cross is concerned about keeping up with the need.

"It's important to remember in those times that if you're in an area where you can get to a blood drive, it's safe and you're healthy, it's that much more important for the rest of us to pick up the slack where others have had to make cancellations due to the conditions," says Betsy Robertson with the Red Cross.

Appointments only take about an hour, and you can easily set one up at redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800 Red Cross.

"We'd love to invite you to come out and try to donate and go through tat experience of giving yourself up. It's such an incredibly selfless gift to offer to another human being, and potentially life saving."

A few weeks after donating, they will send an email or text notification with where your blood was shipped to, so you can see how your donation is making an impact. Check the list below to find the nearest blood drive location.
