Community Blood Centers
February Blood
Drives for the Darke County area
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Darke County area blood drive sponsors are
partnering with Community Blood Center to host community blood drives
throughout Darke County. Everyone who registers to donate will
receive the “Blood Donor” knit beanie as a warm thank-you gift.
Schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call
1-800-388-GIVE.
The cozy knit beanie is dark charcoal with “Blood Donor” in a
blue-striped band and topped off with a speckled gray pom-pom.
It’s free to everyone who registers to donate with CBC now through Feb.
24 at a CBC Donor Center or most CBC mobile blood drives.
DONATE IN THE HEART OF WINTER
With the cold winter and severe flu season, CBC has been especially
cautious about maintaining the regional blood supply. If you must miss
an appointment to donate please reschedule as soon as possible.
CBC is also focusing on recruiting more platelet and plasma donors. The
automated process of giving platelets and plasma is called “apheresis”
and the number of these special donors is dwindling. CBC’s most
dedicated donors are ageing, with about 53 percent of the donor base
now over the age of 50.
CBC is calling on young people to become the “next generation of
donors” and asking new and current donors to help CBC meet the
challenges of the future by becoming apheresis donors.
