Approaching the new year, The Coastal Bend Blood Center is in need of more donors.
Ashley Ramirez, the center’s community outreach and education coordinator, said more tragedies are expected during the holidays so it’s vital to have enough blood to save lives that could be in jeopardy.
In order for their shelves to stay stocked, 150 people must register to donate blood a day.
Anyone donating blood until Sunday, January 2 will be entered to win a $1,000 Visa gift card.
The blood mobile will be at several cities across the Coastal Bend the last week of December.
