Why is there a blood shortage if there are always donation drives and family members are always there willing to provide for their loved ones if ever blood donation is needed?

Relatives aren’t always a match for blood and some relatives can’t give blood, in general the main shortage is for universal blood that can be given when the hospital doesn’t know the blood type of the patient like in an accident. https://youtu.be/pt9ZBw8C1nk
