Darke County
October Blood Drives Announced
DAYTON & DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Darke County will host a variety of
community blood drives in October. Everyone who registers to donate
will receive a donor gift. Schedule an appointment online at
www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.
CBC is expanding the opportunity to donate platelets and plasma at
select community blood drives. Platelets are blood cells that help
control bleeding. Plasma is the fluid component that helps maintain
blood pressure. Both are vital to the treatment of cancer, organ
transplant, burn, and trauma 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.
