Facing an urgent need for additional donations, ImpactLife is now providing blood donors with a new opportunity to increase the impact of their donation.
Now through Sept. 10, everyone who comes to give blood at ImpactLIfe donor centers or mobile blood drives will receive a voucher to redeem for the donor’s choice of an electronic gift card or an equivalent value contribution to AdoptAClassroom.org.
The new promotion comes during a challenging period for our region’s blood supply, according to an ImpactLife release. O-positive and O-negative red blood cell inventories have ranged from just 1.5 days to a 3-days in recent weeks.
ImpactLife seeks to maintain a 5- to 7-day supply for all blood types and components to optimally meet patient needs across the region. The projection for the rate of blood donation remains low in the weeks ahead, so donor recruitment teams are ramping up messaging and appealing to all eligible donors to help improve appointment schedules over the next week through Labor Day Weekend.
To find an ImpactLife Donor Center location or mobile blood drive, call (800) 747-5401, schedule online at www.bloodcenter.org/locations or via the ImpactLife mobile app (www.bloodcenter.org/app).
