Everyone who registers to donate will receive the “Donor Love” hoodie and will be automatically entered into a drawing to win a solar eclipse camping package from April 6-9 at the Hickory Hill Lakes campground in Fort Loramie. Everyone who registers to donate at a Shelby County blood drive from Feb. 13 to March 23 will be entered in the solar eclipse camping package drawing.
Solvita is currently in low supply of multiple blood types. Winter weather and seasonal illness make February a difficult month for maintaining an adequate blood supply.
You can save time while helping save lives by using “DonorXPress” to complete the donor questionnaire before arriving at a blood drive. Find DonorXPress on the Donor Time App or at www.solvita.org/donorxpress.
