North Star
community blood drive
Darke County, Ohio – The St. Louis Catholic Church will join forces
with Community Blood Center (CBC) to host a community blood drive
Saturday, Feb. 21 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The blood drive will be
at the North Star Community Center, 124 E. Star Road. Everyone
who registers to donate will receive February’s special collection
donor gift, the “Warming Up To Give Blood” soup crock. Donors are
encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com.
Beethoven struck the right note when he said, “Only the pure in heart
can make a good soup.” CBC is hoping to warm hearts during the
heart of winter with the “Warming Up to Give Blood” soup crock and
spoon. It’s a free donor gift to everyone who registers to donate
Monday, Feb. 2 through Saturday, Feb. 28 at any CBC Donor Center and
most CBC mobile blood drives.
The ceramic soup crock is mug size with two handles, red on the inside
and black on the outside, with “Warming up to Give Blood” in red
lettering along with the CBC blood drop logo. It comes with a red
ceramic soup spoon.
Blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter months due to
the holidays, travel schedules, inclement weather and illness.
February can be an especially difficult month for blood centers to
collect blood donations. If you have to miss an appointment, CBC
encourages you to reschedule when you are able. We especially
encourage the continued support of type O whole blood donors and type
A/B platelet and plasma donors.
