Imagine life without vacations? That?s reality for the ongoing need for blood. Did you know our community needs over 400 blood products daily? The need for blood never takes a vacation ? not even during the summer months. In fact our local blood supply decreases in June, July and August due to families taking vacations and the loss of high school and college blood drives. So take a break from the heat and help save local lives by donating life-saving blood. Visit one of our five donor centers or donate at one of our mobile blood drives. Sign up at www.carolinadonor.org or call 704.972.4700. Thanks for rolling up your sleeves to support our local patients. Every Drop Stays Here. Saving Local Lives. *Please note the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas' minimum weight requirement for blood donors is 120 pounds.
