The American Red Cross is still seeking sign-ups for people to donate blood for the Great Chicago Blood Drive this week.
It's taking place Jan. 11 and Jan. 12 at seven locations across Chicago, the suburbs and Northwest Indiana. So far, sign ups for the drive lag behind last year, but we're hoping with your help, we can improve those numbers.
"The Red Cross needs to collect about 12,500 blood donations to meet the needs of the 2,500 hospitals that are counting on blood donations," said Roldán.
