Darke County December Blood Drives
Warm up with new blood donor winter scarf
DAYTON & DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Darke County will help boost the
holiday season blood supply by offering several community blood drives
during the month of December. Everyone who registers to donate
with CBC now through Jan. 4 will receive the knit Blood Donor Winter
Scarf. Make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call (937)
461-3220.
The holiday season is a challenging time of year for maintaining the
blood supply at area hospitals. If you must miss an appointment
to donate, please reschedule as soon as you can.
Many CBC community blood drives now include the opportunity to donate
platelets and plasma, which are critical for the treatment of cancer,
trauma, transplant, and burn patients. Donors with blood types A, AB,
or B positive are in high demand. Find out more at
www.GivingBlood.org or talk to an apheresis specialist at (937)
461-3220.
