Cape Cod Hospital and Falmouth Hospital are in urgent need of blood donations, and numerous blood drives are being held across Cape Cod in November to benefit Cape Cod Healthcare (CCHC). The hospitals must have at least one week’s worth of blood on hand at all times. Since each unit collected or purchased will only last between 35 to 42 days, it is a constant challenge to maintain sufficient supply.
The majority of this month’s blood drives will be held in the CCHC Blood Mobile, which is located in the parking lot of sponsoring businesses and organizations. Blood collected at CCHC Blood Drives stays on Cape Cod to help our families, friends and neighbors.
Donors to this CCHC blood month’s drives will receive a $5 gift card to Cumberland Farms. (Note: Donors to the Market Basket Drive on Nov. 29 will receive $5 gift card to Market Basket.)
Walk-ins are welcome at all blood drives. To make an appointment to donate blood, please visit www.capecodhealth.org/giveblood or call 508-86BLOOD.
