January is National and Ohio Blood Donor Awareness Month and the Community Blood Center wants the public to know the importance of donating blood here locally. Right now they say it is tough to get donors, with people just getting done with the holidays and with the rise of flu and other respiratory diseases.

January is Ohio’s Blood Donor Awareness Month, and Community Blood Center is hoping you lend an arm to celebrate.  On January 6th, they are teaming up with Mercy Health -Saint Ritas to hold a blood drive from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  During the winter months blood donations drop because of the holidays and people falling ill and can’t donate.  So, they are asking for your help to build the winter blood supply up, so hospitals are better prepared in case a need arises.
