MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Mossel Bay will form part of the Western Cape Blood Service’s (WCBS) blood donation drive called Red Saturday on 25 November.
As WCBS prepares for increased demand on the blood supply during the festive season, they urge the community to give the extraordinary gift of life.
Marike Carli, public relations manager at WCBS, emphasises that, by donating one unit of blood, you have the power to save up to three lives.
Red Saturday strategically coincides with the frenzy of consumers seeking Black Friday deals. On this day, WCBS will set up donation stations at ten participating malls, aiming to collect 1 000 units of blood and welcome 300 new donors on a single day.

"We appeal to the community to join us on Red Saturday,” says Carli. “There is no better special than being able to give one donation and save three lives."
