DAVIDSON—Donors from Davidson and district did their part Oct. 1 at a Blood Donor Clinic to boost Canada’s blood supply.
Describing Canada’s blood inventory as critically low, on September 30 Canadian Blood Services appealed to all eligible donors to make a blood donation immediately. All blood donors were needed, in particular those with type O and A blood.
Canadian Blood Services Clinic in Davidson saw 106 people attend to donate blood with 87 units being collected. The turnout was better than organizers had expected, given the fact that many people in the area were still busy harvesting their crops.
This was up from the February clinic when 75 units were collected. There is room for improvement. The quota for the Davidson Clinic is 100 units of blood.
