There is a critical shortage of O-Negative type blood.

The Red Cross is sponsoring a blood drive in Junction City on Friday at the Municipal Building from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. They want all blood types but there is a particular need for O-Negative.

The snow did cause some impact on day one of the blood drive Thursday, but 55 units were still collected.

You can call 1-800-Red Cross to make an appointment and walk-ins are welcome.
