Community Blood Center
Donors hold
"Key to Saving Lives"
April Blood Drives in Darke County
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio –Blood donors “hold the key to saving lives.”
Everyone who registers to donate will receive a key chain etched with
the Community Blood Center blood drop logo. Donors are encouraged
to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call
1-800-388-GIVE.
The “Key to Saving Lives” key chain is free to anyone who registers to
donate now through April 30 at a CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile
blood drives. The chrome key chain features the CBC logo on a
diamond-shaped fob with a braided key loop.
SPRING IS AN IMPORTANT TIME TO DONATE
Spring is a time when vacations, severe weather and seasonal illnesses
can interfere with donating and cause a challenge to the regional blood
supply.
In addition, CBC is taking cautions against the Zika virus. Potential
donors who have traveled to Zika endemic areas in the Caribbean, Mexico
and Central or South America are deferred from donating for 28 days.
The restriction is expected to decrease the number of eligible donors
by approximately 2.25 percent.
CBC encourages eligible donors to help offset this loss by making an
appointment to donate. Type O whole blood donors and type AB platelet
and plasma donors are especially encouraged to donate when able. Learn
more at www.GivingBlood.org
