Blood continues to be in short supply nationwide, and in the CBC region high demand continues for type O blood as many businesses and organizations have suspended hosting blood drives due to COVID-19 related restrictions.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive a special-edition “Counting on You in 2022″ long-sleeve t-shirt.
Appointments are encouraged online at www.donortime.com or by phone at 937-461-3220.
Blood donation requirements are to provide a photo ID that include their full name, past donors are asked to bring their CDC donor ID card, be at least 17 years of age (16 years old with parental consent: form available at givingblood.org or CBC drive locations), weight a minimum of 110 pounds (you may have to weigh more, depending on your height), and be in good physical health.
