American Red Cross to hold blood drive Sept. 19 in Princeton

The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 19, at Allegion-LCN, at 1224 N. Main St. in Princeton.

The American Red Cross is experiencing a national blood shortage after fewer donors than needed gave blood over the summer, drawing down the national blood supply and reducing distributions of some of the most needed blood types to hospitals.
