NAMPA — Blood donations are down to a 20 year low in the United States according to the Red Cross.
Local officials are urging everyone to consider making a donation during this critical time.
Summer is always a more difficult time to get donations because so many people are on vacation.
Nampa has a brand new Red Cross donation center previewed by our senior reporter Roland Beres who demonstrated how easy it is to give blood.
