On April 2, the County of San Diego will kick off its 40th annual blood drive, emphasizing the critical need for blood and platelet donations to meet the demand in hospitals during the summer months. As stated by the County, "by taking just a few minutes out of your day, you can help save a life."
The County highlighted the ongoing struggle to maintain an adequate supply of blood and platelets, making this an opportune time for individuals to contribute to boosting these essential resources. County employee Cecilia Trinidad's unforeseen need for a blood transfusion due to a skydiving competition accident serves as a poignant reminder of how vital these donations are in unforeseen circumstances.
Encouraging proactive participation, the County underlined, "You don't have to wait for the County blood drive to donate. Visit the San Diego Blood Bank and schedule an appointment today."
The upcoming blood drive serves as a significant platform for community members to support those in need and potentially save lives through their generous donations.
