Canadian Blood Services challenge Canadians to donate during holidays

Canadian Blood Services is hosting a special new challenge called Give 3 in 2023. It is all about inspiring people to donate blood and plasma. An official with Canadian Blood Services says the challenge is perfect timing with the Christmas holidays just around the corner.

“Definitely over the holidays, we saw lots of people that would come out. There was definitely the last two years have kind of been a little hesitant to go out. People are wanting to do something over the holidays, something to give back. So we do have a number of open appointments in Lethbridge. You can go on Blood.ca, or you can go on our Give Blood app to book your appointment. But I would say we definitely have an opportunity for people to come as groups and really see our new plasma location that’s just on Mayor Magrath Drive,” said Judy Jones with Canadian Blood Services.
