Vitalant urgently seeking blood donors
SANDPOINT — Nonprofit blood donation organization Vitalant is hosting several upcoming blood drives to address an urgent need for more blood donors.
A special incentive is being offered to those who donate before Saturday, March 16 — an exclusive solar eclipse-themed T-shirt and free solar eclipse glasses. Additionally, through March 31, all donors will be automatically entered to win one of four $5,000 gift cards in the Celestial Giveaway.
“An adequate blood supply must be ready for patients every day before it’s needed,” Vitalant communications manager Vicki Wolfe said in an email. “Spring storms can cause blood drive cancellations and keep donors from coming out. Eligible donors of all blood types, especially type O, are urged to give to ensure the blood supply is sufficient before the unexpected occurs.”
