ALERT: BLOOD DONATIONS NEEDED!

LifeServe is asking those eligible to give blood to please make an appointment immediately, after weeks of significant declines in donations have led to concerning shortages.

This July, donations are down almost 2,500 units, which is causing significant strain on the blood supply, and could lead to local hospitals not having enough blood on hand to treat all patients. We have just a 1-2 day supply of O-negative, O-positive, and A-negative blood.

Read more about our current blood supply issue, and make an appointment to give blood now: https://www.lifeservebloodcenter.org/urgent-need/
