Blood Shortage Continues
Win a $100 Gas Card!
The Community Blood Bank continues to struggle with the local blood supply, and expects to return to safe levels after Labor Day. But until then more donors are needed to save local lives.
There is a special event blood drive in Bradford where people can help:
One lucky donor at today's blood drive at the BRMC lab in Union Square from 3:30 to 7:30pm will win a $100 Country Fair Gas Card. No appointment is needed to save a life. Tasta Pizza will be supplying food too.
There is still a serious blood shortage affecting the region. The last month of summer is always hard because the blood shortage message gets lost on people after hearing it too much.
"We need lots of donors Thursday," said Dan Desrochers, Director of Marketing at the Community Blood Bank. "There's a few weeks left of summer and unfortunately that means lots of local residents will use blood."
The Community Blood Bank is located at 24 Davis Street in Union Square across from the Sports Café in the BRMC Laboratory. Hours are on Thursday are 3:30pm to 7:30pm and Saturday 9am to 1pm. No appointment is necessary. Everyone over 17 is strongly encouraged to donate.
Note: I can't give blood because I'm on Coumadin -- so someone needs to go in and take my place. Please?
