Blood donor clinic in urgent need of support
Canadian Blood Services has issued an urgent appeal to residents of the Battlefords and area to roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life.
Historically the summer months are a challenging time for the Canadian Blood Services. Travel, holidays, family activities and changes in routines means fewer donations during the summer.
Organizers and volunteers will be at the Alex Dillabough Centre in Battleford today from 2 p.m. until 7 p.m. accepting blood donations to help during this crucial time for Canadian Blood Services.
Given its short shelf life, the need for blood is constant. For example, cancer patients, accident victims and those with blood disorders all depend on blood transfusions every day.
