To draw attention that blood types sometimes do go missing from hospital shelves, A’s, B’s and O’s began disappearing on June 11 from iconic brand logos, social media pages, signs and websites as part of the Missing Types campaign. While thousands of blood donors have answered the call to fill the Missing Types, more donors are needed. Visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS.
