Do you donate blood?

Excerpt from Canadian Blood Services News Release:

“New donors are needed to help keep the national blood supply well stocked. Currently, only about 80 per cent of the available appointments are booked each week, leaving the national supply at risk of falling short as the summer rolls on and the supply dwindles. Patients are counting on people making the time to donate, to ensure a steady supply of blood and blood products.”
