Video: Emergency Appeal for Blood Donors

[bitsontherun X0piLVFU]

The United Blood Service has issued an EMERGENCY APPEAL for blood. This is nationwide, not just our area. Also the UBS center in Hattiesburg has lost a lot of blood drives this week due to Sunday’s EF4 tornado. We have to have blood on the shelves to help your neighbors.

United Blood Services is this area’s non-profit community blood provider serving patients in Mississippi and West Alabama. It takes over 250 blood donations everyday to meet the needs of area patients.  Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health.  Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 must have signed permission from parents or guardian.
