Darke County December Blood Drives
Feel good about
giving… all the way to your jingle toes
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Darke County will have several holiday season
community blood drives. Community Blood Center is celebrating the
season by offering a warm gift of colorful holiday socks to everyone
who registers to donate. Schedule an appointment online at
www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.
The holiday season is an especially challenging time of year for
maintaining the area blood supply. If you must miss an
appointment to donate please reschedule as soon as you can.
The holiday gift socks are part of the “Make it a Holiday to Remember
All the Way to Your Jingle Toes” campaign. The holiday socks are
green, grey and red with multi-colored Christmas tree bulbs
representing blood types. They are one size fits all, and are
free when you register to donate Dec. 3 through Dec. 29 at a CBC Donor
Center or mobile blood drive.
CBC is expanding the opportunity to donate platelets and plasma at
select community blood drives. Platelets are the cells that control
bleeding while plasma is the fluid that maintains blood pressure. Both
are vital for the treatment of cancer, trauma, organ transplant, and
burn patients. New platelet donors are in high demand, especially those
with blood types A, AB, or B positive. Find out more at
www.GivingBlood.org or talk to an apheresis specialist at (937)
461-3220.
