Dear Lifesaver:
 
Due to fantastic donor participation during the last week, NCH Community Blood Center is cancelling the March 26 Imperial Wilderness blood drive in order to adequately manage the strong blood supplies we currently have. We will need your continued support in the weeks to come, as area patients will continue to require lifesaving blood products. Blood donations count as an essential service. NCH Community Blood Center is authorized to collect blood from healthy donors even during state mandated closures. NCH Community Blood Center is following universal precautions and following guidelines issued from CDC and FDA to keep our donors safe. Visit our website www.givebloodcbc.org for up-to-date information on when and where to donate. Stay strong! Stay safe.
