Carter BloodCare Calls on Donors to Step Up

BEDFORD – Carter BloodCare is issuing another urgent call for donors. Linda Goelzer told KTBB that while Blood supply tends to wane during the winter months, this year the need is more dire. Goelzer said, “We are reaching out with a heavy appeal to our community, because we are in a critical situation, truly critical.” The Director of Public Relations continued, “There’s no other way to get blood for patients, except through altruistic donors.”

The situation requires the blood center to collect a blood donation from 1,500 people every day for the next week. Carter BloodCare asks donors to make an appointment to give blood immediately. Walk-ins are welcomed. Donors may text or call 800-366-2834 for an appointment. You can visit http://www.carterbloodcare.org for more information.
