All the blood collected with the Community Blood Bank goes back into the local community. “Blood donations are important year-round,” said Jaclyn Seymour, community relations specialist for the Community Blood Bank. “We are currently in need of more Type O blood donations.

It’s vital to have an adequate supply on the shelf to help make sure the blood is ready and available when it is needed.”
