TITUSVILLE – The Community Blood Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania & Western New York is encouraging donors to wrap up the year saving lives with a special December promotion. Throughout the month, all donors who give blood will be automatically entered into weekly raffles to win one of four $100 gift cards. Every donor will receive gloves and chocolates.
“As we close out the year, we want to remind everyone that there’s no better way to give back than by giving blood,” said Megan Solensky, community relations specialist at the Community Blood Bank. “December is a busy time filled with shopping, travel and celebrations, but patients in our local hospitals continue to need blood every single day. This is a perfect opportunity to end the year with an act of generosity that truly saves lives.”
The Community Blood Bank is highlighting the ongoing need for blood donations during the winter months, when collections often decline due to holiday schedules and weather. Donors are encouraged to visit the Erie Donor Center or this upcoming mobile drive from noon to 5 p.m. on Dec. 26, at the Titusville YMCA, 510 W. Main St. Titusville.
Appointments are encouraged to reduce wait times but are not required. Call 814-596-3395 to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins will be taken as space allows.
