Blood Drive
2022-06-26 08:00 - 15:00 | Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 1111 W Danieldale Rd, Duncanville, TX, 75137, United States
The need for blood is nonstop. Blood centers must have a readily available blood supply on our shelves in the event of emergencies. On Wednesday morning, May 25, Carter BloodCare and nine other U.S. blood centers sent several units of O negative blood to South Texas, and to our colleagues at South Texas Blood & Tissue to fulfill hospital requests.

We provided blood to South Texas as part of our role in the Blood Emergency Readiness Corps. Donating blood is a powerful, positive way to help others and support our greater community during this horrible crisis in Uvalde. When time is critical, having blood available is lifesaving.

Blood drives are always essential. But your upcoming drive is even more important because of the current National Blood Crisis.

Brothers, according to Carter BloodCare, “…our community blood supply is at an all-time low – the worst seen in 30 years. There is a severely limited reserve at the end of each day; a reality that we could face for many more months.” We want to encourage you to roll up your sleeves for our upcoming lifesaving blood drive.

The blood collected during our drive will be on a hospital shelf within 48 hours of its collection. IMPACTING patients and their families immediately!
