The local BLOOD INVENTORY REMAINS AT CRITICAL LEVELS!!
We are asking you to help in any way possible to increase participation at the upcoming local blood drive (see attached Flyer for details) by inviting your family, friends, neighbors, patrons, vendors, members, anyone & everyone who could be a potential donor.
All blood types are needed.
Blood Donations decrease dramatically around the holidays & especially heading into and during the summer months as we all like to enjoy vacations and family time as the School Year winds down.
Our Donor Centers and community blood drives are seeing much lower donor participation and this is impacting our already critically low inventory needed for patients in our local hospitals.
Schools are in the midst of testing & getting ready for final exams, families are readying for the “official ” start to Summer and many take days off to go on vacation.
All of these factors contribute to making for very challenging times to maintain an adequate blood inventory.
