The Vitalant blood-mobile will be stationed at Santa Barbara’s Paseo Nuevo, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, providing community members with an opportunity to give the gift of life through blood donation.
The blood drive will take place at De La Guerra Place, outside the Cinemas at Paseo Nuevo. Both scheduled appointments and walk-in donors are welcome to participate.
“We’re proud to partner with Vitalant to bring this essential community service directly to Santa Barbara area residents,” said Caroline Mayhew, Paseo Nuevo marketing manager.
As an incentive, donors who give blood with Vitalant Sept. 8-30 will be entered for a chance to win $10,000. The promotion highlights the critical need for blood donations while recognizing the generous spirit of community donors, Vitalant said.
Community members interested in donating can schedule an appointment in advance by visiting vitalant.org or drop in during the drive hours.
