Why is it important to donate around public holidays?
Long weekends put a strain on the nation’s blood supply as there are fewer days to collect the 26,000 blood donations needed every week to treat people in need and there can be an increase in demand for blood and blood products during holiday periods. Also, many people are away on vacation over public holidays and are unable to donate.
