Facing just a one- to three-day supply of most blood components, ImpactLife is announcing special hours at many of its donor center locations on Labor Day.
Nineteen of the blood center’s 22 donor center locations will be open for donors who wish to support the region’s blood supply on Monday, September 5.
To schedule an appointment for donation, call (800) 747-5401, schedule online at www.bloodcenter.org, text 999-777, or schedule via the Blood Center’s mobile app (www.bloodcenter.org/app)
After a period of low donation rates, ImpactLife blood inventories are at just a one-day supply for type O-negative red blood cells and a 2- to 3-day supply for O-positive, A-negative, A-positive, B-positive, and B-negative blood types.
The blood center strives to maintain a five-day supply for all blood types. And with blood and platelet donations in constant use at hospitals, the blood center is looking to add appointments in the days before, during, and after Labor Day Weekend.
