Canadian Blood Services is in a bind. In April it fell well short of a blood drive in Blind River by collecting only 49 units of blood when it needed 77 units. It has another drive set for June 6th and is hoping with enough notice, people will give the gift of life. Right now it has 58 slots that need filling. Nationally the agency is trying to raise 150,000 units of blood by July 1st to ensure it meets patient needs. The June 6th drive is at the Community Centre from 4:00pm to 8:00pm.
