Negaunee, Michigan – December 9, 2014 – The Upper Peninsula Regional Blood Center Mobile Unit made another stop at Honor Credit Union in Negaunee on Friday, December 5th, and Honor employees and members rolled up their sleeves to donate generously and help meet the needs of the blood center.
According to the American Red Cross, people don’t donate as regularly as they do through the rest of the year because of holiday plans, bad roads and illness. As a result, blood is in short supply this time of year. The Upper Peninsula Regional Blood Center says our community is in CRITICAL NEED of A+, A-, O+, and O-. B+, B- and AB+ supplies are below optimal levels.
With a donation of a single pint of blood (adults have 10-12), you could be saving up to three lives! The blood you donate gets used right here in the U.P., so you could be giving a Christmas gift of life to friends, neighbors and family in our community.
Honor Credit Union thanks its team and members for their donation and reminds you that the U.P. Regional Blood Center in Marquette welcomes walk-ins on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 am to 5 pm; Wednesdays from 8 am to 6 pm, and on Fridays from 7 am to 4 pm. You can call the blood center for more information at (906) 225-4610 or visit their website to check when the bloodmobile will be in your area.
