Flu Season Continues to Affect Blood Donations

 

SAN ANGELO, TX — The flu season continues to impact blood supplies. The United Blood Services is asking people who are healthy to step up and take the place of donors who are fighting the flu.

Goodfellow Air Force Base will host their Operation Warm Heart Blood Drive on Monday, Feb. 19 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Freddy’s Custard and Steak Burgers.

Donors will get an Operation Warm Heart T-shirt, Cinemark movie pass, and a free custard sandwich from Freddy’s.
