With summer’s unofficial kick-off approaching this May long weekend, Canadian Blood Services is calling on all eligible Canadians in St. Catharines to roll up their sleeves for patients.
CBS boosts the blood supply every spring to prepare for the summer, when routines are disrupted as regular donors join the thousands of Canadians who head outdoors or out of town to enjoy the warm weather.
This year, a stormy winter and a wet spring have left inventory levels lower than normal.
So the CBS is asking for our help.
In St. Catharines there are 384 appointments to fill by May 31st.
Upcoming clinics at St. Catharines Blood Donor Clinic, 395-397 Ontario St. (Henley Plaza):
Monday 4pm-8pm
Tuesday 3pm-8pm
Wednesday 4pm-8pm
Thursday 8am-1pm
Saturday 8am-1pm
