Blood drive to be held

There will be a Community Blood Bank blood drive from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Youngsville Fire Hall.

“By donating blood, you can help beat blood shortages and ensure a sufficient supply of blood products to meet the needs of patients in your community,” Community Relations Specialist Erika DePalma said.

All donors who give during the EndLESS Blood campaign will be entered for chances to win multiple prizes.

“Blood shortages can lead to delayed treatments, increased risks during childbirth, and inadequate supply for individuals with blood disorders, or other conditions requiring regular transfusions,” DePalma said. “Every blood donation has the potential to save multiple lives, making it a critical and invaluable contribution to the well-being of the community.”

“All blood types are needed, especially type O blood which helps meet the immediate needs of patients,” she said.
