The Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching the the Rock River Valley Blood Center is in serious need of blood donors.

Local usage has outnumbered donations this week and last week and they have been unable to keep up with demand. They currently have less than a 1 day supply of O negative, A negative, B negative and B positive blood.

Please help local patients by making an appointment to give blood today. They have many open appointment slots today through Saturday that need to be filled to ensure they can meet the demand of local hospitals over the long holiday weekend.

Call 877-RRVBC-99 today or make an appointment online through their donor portal at www.rrvbc.org. If you have a hectic schedule they always accept walk-ins.

Thanks so much for your support. Have a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend.
