Del Holloway from Arkansas Blood Institute (ABI) joins us to discuss the need for blood and their next event.
Due to the recent snow and ice that Arkansas and Oklahoma have received, ABI has lost several blood drives. These losses pushed ABI into an emergency situation, and they are needing to make up blood so they can provide to the seventeen hospitals they donate to in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.
To donate, you must be at least 16 years of age (with signed parental permission). If you have questions about donating, please call (479) 452-5880.
Arkansas Blood Institute is located at 5300 South U Street in Fort Smith, AR.
