Fact: Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood

Fact: At this moment we are considered to be in critical need

Fact: Blood and platelets cannot be manufactured. They can only be obtained by volunteer donors.

CNRC is committed to helping in particular during this time of critical need. We invite our community to do the same! Mark your calendars and make sure to come to CNRC (located at 10836 Temple Road in Dunkirk) on Friday, Feb. 23. What a nice way to start your weekend! The blood drive will be taking place in the Day Room from 11 a.m. to 4 p..m. If you plan on being a part of this event please contact Jonelle Frazier at 366-6400 ext. 7874 or at jfrazier@ctnrc.com. A tentative head count will help to make this event more successful.

Donating blood or platelets can be intimidating and even scary for many people. Time to put those hesitations and fears aside.
