The American Red Cross is a non-profit humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance, disaster relief, and safety education across the United States.

Due to a sharp drop in donations during the summer, the group is currently facing a severe nationwide blood shortage, and urgently needs volunteers to help.

First United Methodist Church is located at 101 East First North Street in Morristown. For more information about the blood drive, call 423-581-2180.
