In 2024, multiple lives were saved thanks to people generously taking time out of their busy schedule to donate blood. However, the next for blood doesn’t end just because the calendar have flipped.
Maureen Macfarlane, Community Development Manager, said if your resolution is to give back in 2025 – this is the perfect way to start.
While blood is needed during emergencies; many patients require regular blood transfusions, and they can’t restock it fast enough.
While the need remains constant, the number of donors has decreased.
There is a blood donation event coming up Thursday January 23rd in Goderich, at the Knights of Columbus hall from 1pm – 7pm.
Give the gift of life saving blood and book your appointment now at blood.ca, through the GiveBlood App or call 1-888-236-6283.
