Community Blood Bank searches for donors to partake in upcoming drives

Community Blood Bank is hoping donors will help “Pump Up the Blood Supply” at upcoming drives.

“During the summer months, Community Blood Bank typically sees a steep decline in donations due to family vacations, school breaks, and holidays,” Community Relations Specialist Erika DePalma said.

All donors will be entered for a chance to win a $100 fuel card and, those who give between May 30 and June 3 will be entered for a chance to win two tickets to see Taylor Swift in concert Saturday, June 17, in Pittsburgh.

Warren County drives are scheduled for:

Thursday, June 1 – noon to 5 p.m. at Warren General Hospital; and

Friday, June 2 – 1 to 5 p.m. at Warren County YMCA.

“Blood donations are critical in helping patients by providing them with the necessary blood components in various medical situations, ranging from emergencies to chronic conditions,” DePalma said. “There is a severe need for all blood types, especially Type O blood, which is commonly used in critical and emergency care.”
