Yesterday was the most units donated ever at the Salem Y and at such a critical time. We also set a new record for the most first time donors at the Y as well which is amazing since we've now been doing the blood drives for a few years. I saw quite a few Y staff donating alongside Y members and I wanted to extend a BIG thank you to everyone who provided support!

Goal: 35

Actual Units Donated: 44!

Percent of Goal: 125.7%!

Actual Sign Up: 48

Actual Presenting Donors: 46 (The walk ins just about perfectly balanced out no shows.)

First time donors: 14 Exceptional! That's the most in Marion County this summer so far!

Power Red Donors: 5 donors for 10 units which is great!

As the American Red Cross announces a nationwide blood crisis, local officials are hoping to keep blood donations flowing in Salem. To comment on this story, use the form at the end of the report.
