The aftermath of Hurricane Beryl is causing all kinds of problems for the Houston area, including an already-low blood supply.

The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center is currently at a two-day blood supply. They hope to raise the supply through their Commit 4 Compassion challenge.

SAN ANTONIO – The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center has announced Tuesday that the local supply of blood is enough for just three days of use. The center says that the local blood supply is not keeping up with the needs of patients, as COVID-19 has overwhelmed the donor recruitment system in the area and across the country. Additionally, the center said the type O blood supply, which area trauma centers rely on, is still in the critical zone. “All donors in the month of December will pocket a $10 Amazon Gift Card,” blood bank officials said in a statement.
