ALBANY, GA --
The American Red Cross has recently issued a national blood appeal, but with people on vacation and others confined to their home by severe storms they have not been able to build up the supply.

The men of omega psi phi fraternity decided to do their part, and held a blood drive.

Chapter member, Apostle Felix Revills says, "It's something that doesn't cost any money, but it's a little time and effort to come out and help those that are in need."

The Red Cross is in need of every type of blood but specifically o positive and negative, and A and B negative.
