Calling all new and existing blood donors!

In times of need, we show up. We make sacrifices to help people we know, and people we don’t. Right now, patients across Canada need donors more than ever. To give like lives depend on it — because they do.

Luckily, Owen Sound is hosting a blood donation event to help those in need. The event will take place at the Owen Sound Legion located at 1450 2nd Ave. West. Wednesday, May 4 from 2:00pm to 7:00pm, all are welcome!

Making an appointment is necessary and keeping it is crucial. Missed or cancelled appointments are difficult for health personnel to fill since we can longer replace you with a ‘walk-in’ donor. If you find that an event is initially full, please save the date and keep checking back. Same-day appointments are often available, there have been a high number of last-minute cancellations on the day of the clinic so there are often open appointments that can be booked on the morning of the event.

You can book your appointment at blood.ca or by calling 1-888-2DONATE.

Please, spread the word and encourage others to donate. Every donation counts and thank you for your ongoing support!
