The American Red Cross North Texas Region says they plan to host more than 100 pop-up blood drives across DFW each month.
The Red Cross said blood donations are needed to ensure that there is blood available for those involved in trauma, during surgery, or for those fighting cancer.
Donors of all blood types are needed, particularly type O blood donors because they can donate blood to all blood types and are therefore the most needed blood group.
To donate blood, visit one of the pop-up blood drives below.
