The winter weather has taken its toll on blood donations and the American Red Cross needs your help.
Many blood drives across the nation have been canceled causing blood shortages.
The Red Cross says they're in need of O Positive and O Negative as well as 'A' and 'B' negative blood types.
For those wanting to help out, the Red Cross will be making various stops in East Central Illinois seeking blood donations.
