Carter BloodCare is hosting several community blood drives in southern Denton County this month, including one on Monday in Flower Mound.
There is a critical need for the universal O negative blood type, and all blood types are needed, according to a Carter BloodCare news release.
“Donated blood is used to help people with life-threatening injuries due to serious vehicle accidents and severe trauma, those undergoing open-heart surgeries and organ transplants, patients receiving cancer treatments, mothers experiencing complications during childbirth, children with anemia, and older adults with age-related health issues,” the organization said in a statement.
Each person who gives blood at Carter BloodCare in May will receive an insulated cooler bag.
The first of three local blood drives will be held from noon to 4 p.m. in front of the Kroger store at 2709 Cross Timbers Road in Flower Mound. Click here to sign up. As of late Monday morning, most time slots are still available.
