Coffee Memorial Blood Center urges community to donate as iIllnesses strain blood supply
Body
Seasonal illnesses, including the flu, are significantly impacting blood donations. Texas is among the hardest-hit states, with widespread flu cases leading to school closures and canceled high school blood drives. Many adults caring for sick family members are also unable to donate, further straining the local blood supply.
Coffee Memorial Blood Center is calling on all healthy, eligible individuals to donate as soon as possible to help ensure patients receive the lifesaving care they need.
