Save Hawaii lives: Blood Bank of Hawaii calling for donors
HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Blood Bank of Hawaii is calling on the community to help save lives by donating blood, especially if they are O-positive or O-negative. The non-profit shared that both locations have less than a day's supply of O-positive and O-negative red blood cells as well as platelets. Blood Bank of Hawaii looking for donations BBH said they continue to import red cells and platelets from the mainland, but they aren't always consistently available due to severe weather, low donor turnout or high hospital use nationwide. With the need for blood and blood products across the state on the rise, officials are urging the community to step up and help make a difference. 'Young people are hustling. They're working multiple jobs, they're busy, they're on that grind culture. We want to invite them in, we want them to take over that next generation of blood donation so they can take care of the kupuna and their own generation.'BBH said those who live or work in town can make an appointment to donate at the Young Street Donor Center. This center is the only location where you can give platelets. Donors are also welcome to head to the Waikele location. To schedule an appointment, call (808) 848-4745 or visit BBH's website.
