Severe Blood Shortage: Urgent Community Appeal for Donations

February 20, 2025 – A severe blood shortage is impacting the community, and Our Blood Institute (OBI) needs your help. Recent illness outbreaks have removed the ill and their caregivers from the donor pool. Preemptive school closures and corporate and institutional drive cancellations are piling up due to impending severe weather. Work-from-home precautions have removed donors from their routine habits of giving blood. The net result is thousands of lost blood donation appointments. As a result, OBI’s ability to maintain a stable blood supply is critically strained.

Please consider donating blood and/or praying for the needs of OBI. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
