NEW PARIS — Community Blood Center has a critical shortage of type O negative blood and a need for all donors as the holiday season begins. Donate at the National Trail High School community blood drive Wednesday, Nov. 30, from 8 a.m. to noon, at 6940 Oxford-Gettysburg Road, New Paris.

Everyone who registers to donate with CBC in November will get the navy knit Blood Donor Beanie and will be automatically entered in the “Battle of Ohio” drawing to win two tickets to the Bengals vs. Browns game Dec. 11 at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati.

Make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com, call 937-461-3220, or use the new Donor Time app.

A donation will help CBC replenish the Thanksgiving holiday period blood supply and prepare for the arrival of winter and the holiday season.

Save time when when donating by downloading the new Donor Time app. Donors can also use “DonorXPress” to complete the donor questionnaire before arriving at a blood drive. Find DonorXPress on the Donor Time App or at www.givingblood.org/donorxpress.
