ImpactLife Calls For Action To Overcome Blood Shortage
ImpactLife joins blood providers across the United States in reporting critical blood shortages. Additional donors are needed in the days 
ahead to ensure the blood center’s ability to provide this lifesaving resource for hospitals and patients in our region. All eligible donors are asked to schedule appointments ASAP for donation by calling (800) 747-5401, scheduling online at www.bloodcenter.org, or via the Blood Center’s mobile app (www.bloodcenter.org/app).
“Participating in a local blood drive or donating at an ImpactLife donation center is a great way to support our own communities,” says Nancy Kelting, VP Business Development. “We ask you to donate to avoid further shortages and delays of blood products to our patients who cannot afford to wait,” added Kelting, “and to ensure blood is on the shelf when accidents or other urgent needs occur.”
ImpactLife has added a weekly drawing for one of three $500 electronic gift cards to reward those who step up to support this critical summer need. Everyone who registers to donate at an ImpactLife Donor Center or mobile blood drive will also receive a voucher to redeem for a $10 electronic gift card choice of Amazon.com, Dunkin’ Donuts, Lowe’s, Target, Starbucks, or Walmart ($10 gift card voucher provided through July 11, 2021.)
