Blood providers across the United States and in our region report critically low inventories and ask all eligible donors to make an appointment to give blood. For ImpactLife, donations during the week of May 31 were the lowest since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Midwest. This is due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 blood drive cancellations as well as the Memorial Day holiday. To schedule an appointment for donation, call (800) 747-5401 or schedule online at www.bloodcenter.org, or via the Blood Center's mobile app (www.bloodcenter.org/app).
