July Newsletter 2026

Summer is a time for vacations, weekend getaways, and long days in the sun. But while many routines pause for the season, the need for blood doesn’t.

In fact, summer is one of the most difficult times of the year to maintain a healthy blood supply. As fewer people donate, every appointment carries more weight. Your donation will help ensure that blood is already on the shelf when someone’s life depends on it.

If you’ve been thinking about giving, there’s no better time than now. Your one appointment can help strengthen the blood supply when it’s needed most.

Thank you for making blood donation part of your summer.

With appreciation, 
Your Blood Bank Family

Blood usage is unusually high and we need your donation.

Blood Types Especially Needed: A-, A+, B-, B+, O-, O+
