Lifestream will be holding a blood drive tomorrow, Monday January 16th, at Stater Brothers in 29 Palms, from 2 to 6 pm. Donors receive Gift of Life Donor Loyalty Points that may be redeemed in the online store at www.LStream.org. You may also register for Be The Match bone marrow screening at all donor locations free of charge or go to bethematch.org and use the promo code 92408. Healthy individuals at least 15 years of age may donate blood. (Those 15 and 16 years of age must provide LifeStream with written parental consent. Parent consent forms are available at any donor center, community blood drive or at www.LStream.org.) All prospective donors should be free of infections or illness, weigh at least 110 pounds, and not be at risk for AIDS or hepatitis. Donors receive a free mini-physical as part of the donation process. Donating blood takes about an hour, yet gives someone a lifetime. For more information, call 1-800-TRY GIVING.
Lifestream recently merged with Community Blood Services under the name Desert Blood Services, in a cost-reduction move. LifeStream will handle Desert Blood Service’s day-to-day operations and maintain its name outside of the Coachella Valley.
