The Tri-Cities fell further behind in the Blood Program when
only 97 pints were donated on the visit by the Bloodmobile to
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Spray Monday, March 12.
The quota for the visit was 142 pints. However, it was hoped
that at least 180 pints would be contributed to make up a de
ficit of about 40 pints which existed before the most recent
visit.
Based on normal usage of about 70 pints a month and with
the Bloodmobile visiting only once every two months, more
than the 142 pints quota will have to be donated each time
to catch up with the yearly quota of 850 pints.
Ben Dunton, assistant purchasing agent at Fieldcrest, who
is the local Bloodmobile chairman, said, “It is up to us to meet
our own blood needs in the Tri-Cities.
“Right now, we are being helped by blood donors in other
communities and this is a situation that we can’t expect to con
tinue.
“We will have to have enough donors here to maintain our
quota if we are to continue our participation in the Blood
Program and have blood available to meet the needs of our
sick and injured.”
