Join the Lifesaving Crowd this Summer

LifeStream blood bank invites you to be a “summer superhero” by giving the gift of life by donating blood at a LifeStream donor center (San Bernardino, Riverside, Ontario, Victorville or La Quinta) or mobile drive near you. For hours and locations of fixed site and mobile drives, call 800-879-4484 or visit LStream.org. Walk-ins are welcome. Summer is the most challenging time of year for blood collection to keep up with hospital demand. Every unit of blood collected remains local and can assist multiple patients. LifeStream is designating Fridays in July as “T-shirt days.” Donors at all locations July 17, 24 and 31 receive a special edition, summertime-themed (“Be the sunshine of someone’s life”) T-shirt or ladies’ tank top. Donating blood takes about one hour. The process includes registration, screening, the collection itself and a refreshing post-donation snack in the canteen. That hour could save someone’s life! Donors should prepare by maintaining their regular meal schedules and increasing their fluid intake (water is best) in the 24-48 hours prior to donation. Blood donors must be at least 15 years of age (15- and 16-year-olds require written parental consent; forms are available at the drive and at LStream.org), be in general good health, and weigh at least 110 pounds. LifeStream is a local, nonprofit blood center that provides blood products and services to more than 80 Southern California hospitals.
