Sarah Rourke ff the Junior League of Roanoke Valley said such drives are critical to the community and the American Red Cross.

“They are facing the worst blood shortage in a decade, as well as winter weather causing cancellations,” Rourke said.

Such cancelations cause doctors to make hard decisions when choosing who to save in emergencies.

The drive is hosted every March.
