Community Blood Center is asking all eligible donors to make a life-saving blood donation. A drop in donations because of flu and bad weather has left supplies critically low.

The Center says it has yet to recover from significant declines in the last two weeks in December. Stocks are down to less than a half-day supply on hand.

The Center asks everyone who can to donate blood, and bring along a friend or family member who can also donate.

The Community Blood Center in Saint Joseph is located at 3122 Frederick.
