SHARE hosted their annual blood drive on Saturday, Feb. 17 to aid the statewide emergency blood shortage. The American Red Cross declared a blood shortage emergency for Kansas in January, with the lowest amount of donations in 20 years. The standard for blood banks is to keep enough blood for three days. According to SHARE chair and senior Eve Benditt, they are struggling to keep a one-day supply due to a lack of donations. “[Donating blood] is so much less scary than people think,” Benditt said. “We’re at a critical low of blood right now. So if you’ve never donated, now is the perfect time because this problem is worse than it’s ever been.” For the first time in four years, there was also a table to register for bone marrow donation. SHARE chair and junior Clara Peters led this project, which consisted of a short, 7-question questionnaire and a cheek swab to match potential donors over 18 with patients in need.
