Summer vacations may prevent regular blood donors from being able to give. Additionally, significant weather threats can result in travel hazards and blood drive cancellations that could impact the blood supply. You can be the difference between someone's storm and their sunshine. Donors are critically needed right now after a sharp decrease in donations since late spring. All blood types are needed, especially donors giving type O blood. Help keep lifesaving blood products stocked on hospital shelves and book a time to give blood.

Southeast Georgia Health System is hosting Lifesouth Community Blood Center for blood drive on Friday, July 26, at the Health System’s Brunswick Campus. The drive will be held in the Linda S. Pinson Conference Center located at 2415 Parkwood Drive from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Donors will receive a $20 e-gift card, T-shirt, free cholesterol screening, and the satisfaction of saving lives in their community. Half of the units collected will be donated directly to Southeast Georgia Health System. To register, visit https://bit.ly/DNT-BLD
