Partners for Life are needed to restore blood supplies and grow the plasma supply
In December, the national inventory of several blood types was far below optimal. Thanks to donors like you, we are no longer in a critical situation. But our work together continues as the demand for blood and blood products remains constant. Winter cold and flu season is upon us, our cancellation rates have jumped significantly, and winter storms across the country have also affected donor attendance.
While we are currently in the toughest weeks to collect blood and blood products, your continued dedication to patients as Partners for Life members is needed more than ever.
Now is the perfect time to rally your members to give back together. By continuing to give as a group, today, this week, and throughout the year, you will rapidly help to increase the amount of blood products needed every day.
Partners for Life members donated more than 300,000 units of blood, plasma and platelets last year.
Together, our partners will restore and grow the blood and plasma supply, keep Canada’s Lifeline strong, and bring hope to others at a time when it’s needed most.
