Press release from the Northern California Community Blood Bank follows. Here’s their website, with all sorts of donation information and how-to’s.

The Northern California Community Blood Bank is urgently asking for blood donations from the community, especially from individuals with type O positive blood. The blood bank is currently experiencing a critical shortage of type O positive blood. This shortage is putting local lives at risk, and the Blood Bank needs the community’s help to address this problem.

The Northern California Community Blood Bank provides blood to hospitals and medical facilities throughout the region. Without a sufficient supply of type O positive blood, patients who require transfusions may not receive the care they need. This is why it is so important for individuals with type O positive blood to come forward and donate blood.

If you have type O positive blood and are able to donate, please consider doing so as soon as possible. The blood bank is asking for type O positive donors to visit our Welcome Center or one of our many mobile drives and encourage their friends and family with type O positive blood to do the same. The process of donating blood is safe and straightforward, and your type O positive donation can make a significant difference in someone’s life.

Thank you for considering donating type O positive blood to the Northern California Community Blood Bank. Your generosity can help save lives and make a difference in our community.
