Blood donors are needed

Australian Red Cross Lifeblood is calling on all eligible Australians to become blood donors and for current donors to make and honour their appointments to prevent a potential shortage of blood supplies. 

In fact, we need 14,000 more donors across Australia, in the next few weeks to prevent a shortage.

Geelong Blood Donor Centre is open 7 days a week and is located at 237 Ryrie Street, Geelong. To give blood call 13 14 95 or visit donateblood.com.au

Thank you for your help — we need it now more than ever. Your support will help Lifeblood maintain the nation’s blood supplies, and together, we can change the lives of patients and their families.

Our Lady Star of the Sea has been added to the list of supporting organisations. If any staff and family give blood, they can have their donation added to the tally and as a community we can keep track of the lives we save.
