Press release from the JAX Chamber: December 6, 2021 December 6, 2021 — JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — This holiday season, LifeSouth Community Blood Centers is thanking blood donors in Northeast Florida with a $20 e-gift card from December 11 through January 2. Donors will also receive a special holiday gift for giving the gift of life. During this time of year, the need for blood at local hospitals increases — while nationally, donations decrease due to busy schedules, travel and poor weather. LifeSouth encourages all eligible and first-time donors to give this holiday season to save lives in our community. The national blood supply is at a critical low due to COVID-19, and every donation will make an impact. LifeSouth is the primary provider of blood to many Northeast Florida hospitals, including UF Health Jacksonville, UF Health North, Baptist Medical Center Beaches, Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, Baptist Medical Center Nassau, Baptist Medical Center South, Memorial Hospital, Orange Park Medical Center and Wolfson Children's Hospital.How to Donate: Visit a LifeSouth donor center or bloodmobile.
