The recent blood donor clinics in Drayton and Palmerston came in just shy of their collection targets.
The clinic in Palmerston collected 83 units which is 97 per cent of the target of 86 units and the clinic in Drayton collected 41 units which is 71% of the 58-unit target.
“Thank you to the donors who came out. Those combined 124 units will save the lives of local patients in need,” Canadian Blood Services officials state.
“As the need for blood is constant, Canadian Blood Services hopes to see an even greater turn out at the next clinics.”
Locally, the next chances to donate are March 15 in Palmerston or March 26 in Drayton.
