Australian Red Cross Lifeblood is calling on Lilydale locals to donate blood when the Pop-up Donor Centre visits from 9 to 20 May.
More than 200 additional blood donors are needed over the 10 days they will be open.
“We’re asking locals who have never donated before or who haven’t donated in a while to book a donation and save lives in May,” a Lifeblood spokesperson said.
“The need for blood is constant. Australian patients are relying on a steady blood flow to treat cancer, blood disorders, immune disorders and stem bleeding from childbirth, road trauma and emergency surgery.”
Lifeblood will be located at Lilydale Baptist Church Complex on the corner of Hull Road and Swansea Road in Lilydale.
Bookings are essential. To book visit lifeblood.com.au, download the free Donate Blood App, or call Lifeblood on 13 14 95.
