Urgent Need for Blood

The community is encouraged to roll sleeves up and donate blood as The Blood Connection announces an urgent need. Someone needs a blood transfusion every two seconds, and one in ten patients entering a hospital will need blood. One whole blood donation can save up to three lives. Over 500 people need to donate every day to meet the daily needs of the hospitals served by The Blood Connection. Blood is good for only 42 days, so donors are needed every day to ensure a stable blood supply in the area. You can donate at The Blood Connection from 7am to 7pm weekdays and 7am to 5pm on weekends. The Blood Connection is located at 1308 Sandifer Boulevard in Seneca.
