United Blood Service issues emergency appeal for blood | Local News

Reserves of blood remain depleted following the July 4 holiday.  United Blood Services was forced to issue an emergency appeal for all blood types, as a result of plummeting blood donations this summer.

As a result, it will take time to recover from such a dire blood shortage situation and return blood inventory levels to a more comfortable reserve level. As the community blood provider for this area and stewards of the community blood supply, maintaining an adequate supply of all blood types is imperative. Donors of all types are urgently needed to give blood now. To schedule a blood donation online, go to www.bloodhero.com  or call United Blood Services at 877-UBS-HERO (877-827-4376).
