Critical Need for Blood Following Storm

Unyts urges WNY to consider donating blood today

After canceling collections on Tuesday due to blizzard conditions, Unyts is urging the community to donate blood TODAY. Demand at our local hospitals has increased and a strong turnout by donors is critical to ensure we have blood available for the WNY community. 

Winter months are typically slower in terms of blood donations with fewer donors taking time to give blood because of inclement weather and seasonal illnesses. However, every day, Unyts is expected to provide our area hospitals with lifesaving blood on a daily basis and keep the supplies at a safe level.  As local residents are able to return to their normal activities following the blizzard, Unyts encourages eligible donors to give blood. “O negative” donors are especially encouraged to give today.
