Ararat Rural City Council is once again partnering with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood to host the Blood Bank Bus this October. Following on from previous highly successful community visits, residents will have another opportunity to roll up their sleeves and donate blood to help save lives.
The Blood Bank Bus will be in Ararat to give locals the convenience to make a meaningful contribution close to home. With blood supplies always in demand, every donation makes a difference, and just one donation can save up to three lives.
Ararat Rural City Council Mayor, Cr Jo Armstrong, encouraged residents to book an appointment and take part, saying: "The fact that the Blood Bank Bus always books out is a testament to the generosity and community spirit of our local community. Donating blood is a simple, powerful way we can support those in need, and I urge everyone who is able to donate to get involved."
Community members are urged to register for a donation slot as appointments fill quickly. The Council extends its thanks to everyone who has donated in the past and hopes to see even greater participation this October.
Spaces are limited and bookings are essential. Book your donation online now at: www.lifeblood.com.au/donor-centre/vic/ararat-mobile-donor-centre, via the Donate Blood app, or phone 13 14 95.
