Welcome The Greater Chesapeake and Potomac Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross supplies blood to Central Maryland, Northern Virginia and South Central Pennsylvania, including Baltimore and Washington, DC. Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. is in need of blood, and approximately 95% of the U.S. population will need blood during their lifetime or know someone who will, yet only about 5% give blood. Help us by donating blood today. Together, we can make a difference! Give Hope, Give Blood Red Cross partners with Susan G Komen for the Cure. Read more . Blood Supply Update
All blood types are important. If your blood type does not appear today, your donation is still badly needed in order to treat local patients who depend on that type. This list reflects those types which have fallen to an unsafe level.
A three-day supply of all blood types is the optimal safe level.
The following are the blood types that are low as of December 3, 2009. |
B Positive

1.8 Days Supply
| O Negative

2.8 Days Supply |
