Blood donors are needed urgently ahead of the upcoming holiday season.

With family traditions and holiday travel falling at the same time as winter weather and the flu season, the community blood supply often becomes scarce as blood donors are unable to make their regularly scheduled appointment this time of year.

If you’re able to donate, please do! Every two seconds, someone in the United States requires a blood transfusion to survive. Blood cannot be produced in a lab, so healthy volunteer LifeServers are the only lifesaving link for these hospital patients.

Make your lifesaving gift at an upcoming community blood drive!

Wellsburg Community Blood Drive, Monday, December 19, 2016 from 1:30 PM – 5:00 PM at Wellsburg Community Center, 511 North Adams.

Schedule a blood donation appointment online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800.287.4903.
