Please donate today! - @chirlgirl #Repost with @Repostlyapp @cbccarolinas As Hurricane Florence threatened our region over the weekend, more than 20 sponsors canceled their blood drives, resulting in the loss of approximately 550 units. It is vitally important that our community comes together now to make up for the units lost and continue to provide the blood required by local patients. We are asking donors to make – and keep – appointments to give blood as we recover from this emergency. In addition to the 400 blood products our local hospitals need each day, many of our hospitals took in patients evacuated from the coast. Some are even over their bed capacity as they continue to care for these patients. These hospitals may require additional blood products while helping those patients from coastal communities. If you are able to safely travel to a CBCC donation center or mobile blood drive, please do so immediately. Call 1-888-59BLOOD or go online to make your appointment. All presenting donors at our five donation centers today through Friday, Sept. 21, will receive a limited-edition Hurricane Hero T-shirt as a thank you.* Donors of all blood types are needed, but type O donors are critically important right now. Blood from type O donors can be safely transfused to most patients, which means it is frequently used in emergency situations. Thank you for being a Hurricane Hero. You are helping the local community as well as patients from the coast when they need it most. *T-shirts available while supplies last.
