South Carolina Red Cross collected almost 140 blood units, ABC News 4 team supported the donation

Charleston, South Carolina – Since the start of the pandemic, the South Carolina American Red Cross is running low on blood units supply.

Supported by the ABC News 4 team, the Red Cross managed to collect 134 blood units in two donation events at Citadel Mall and Northwoods Mall.

This comes as a relief for the Lowcountry hospitals, at least on a short term, since they are struggling with blood units supply for almost a year now.

According to the Red Cross, the blood donation events surpassed the patient-need goal set by organizers for the drive.

The Red Cross is still in need of blood units and everyone who wants is welcome to donate blood.

More details can be found on their website.
