We invite you to support a vital community effort.
Blood donations tend to decline during the summer months as families prioritize vacations and outdoor activities. This seasonal trend coincides with the global soccer tournament, which is expected to draw large crowds and increase demands on local healthcare resources. Unfortunately, the current rate of blood donations is not meeting the needs of local patients.
In response, the Lake Highlands YMCA is hosting a blood drive on July 14th from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
We encourage you to reserve a donation time by July 13th through the Carter BloodCare Donor Portal, although walk-ins are also accepted.
Participants will receive a stainless steel water canteen as a token of appreciation.
