Blood Drive Set For Thursday

Community Blood Bank in the midst of a shortage along with blood centers throughout the state and around the country. All community members are invited to donate at the upcoming mobile drive in the Chautauqua County area. The blood collected goes right back in to the community to help anyone in need of a transfusion. Community Blood Bank is actively recruiting new donors to join our loyal donors in helping stabilize the blood supply.

“The need for blood is constant. Our regular blood donors give consistently, but we simply need more people to decide to donate blood.” says Erin Tighe Community Relations Specialist. “Now is the time for you to help your neighbors by rolling up your sleeve and giving someone the gift of life.”
