Blood Needed Every Summer - Donate If You Can

Blood Donors Needed Contact LifeSouth Community Blood Center

The Local Take speaks with Seandell Wright of LifeSouth Community Blood Centerabout the urgent need for blood donors.

Summer is historically a slow time for blood donations, and our blood centers have all hit a critical point for blood donors. Patients and hospitals are still dependent on blood donors to help save lives.  A pint of blood can assist 3 people with life saving materials. 

All blood types are needed, if you can't donate maybe you can host a blood drive at your community center or place of work. Donors must be weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and be in good health.  If you are 16 or 17 you can donate with parental permission. You will also need a photo ID. 

If you are able to donate, please contact LifeSouth Community Blood Centersor visit their Atlanta location at 4891 Ashford Dunwoody Road.  

For more information and to find a Blood Drive or Blood Mobile in your neighborhood call 888-795-2707
