“Around Easter many regular blood donors are away, which means blood supplies can dip if we don’t have enough good eggs to fill the gap.”
She said so far, Easter Monday only had one donor booked in.
“Your lifesaving donation could help someone spend another Easter holiday with family and friends, and all it costs is an hour of time,” she said.
To make an appointment to donate, call 13 14 95 or visit donateblood.com.au.
