ELDORADO — Community Blood Center is in critical need of type O and B negative blood. Help avert this shortage during the busiest time of the holiday season when you donate at the North Central Rescue community blood drive Monday, Dec. 19 from 4-7 p.m. at the Eldorado Fire Department, 140 E. Mill St.

Everyone who registers to donate Dec. 19-31 at any CBC blood drive, or the Dayton CBC Donation Center, is automatically entered in the drawing to win two tickets to the Jan. 27 performance of “Les Misérables” at Dayton’s Schuster Center. All donors also receive the knit Blood Donor Beanie.

Make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com, call 937-461-3220, or use the new Donor Time app.

Donations will help CBC maintain the regional blood supply during the challenging weeks of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

Save time when donating by downloading the new Donor Time app. Donors can also use “DonorXPress” to complete the donor questionnaire before arriving at a blood drive. Find DonorXPress on the Donor Time App or at www.givingblood.org/donorxpress.
