SAN ANTONIO — The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center is in need of blood donors after a drop in supply from the Fourth of July holiday.
To entice donors, the center is offering a "A Pint for Pint" deal. In exchange for a “pint” of blood, all donors will receive a voucher for a “pint” of H-E-B creamy creations ice cream. In addition, donors who give blood at a blood drive will receive a luck of the draw H-E-B gift card valued at up to $150.
The center says summer is one of the toughest times of the year to get blood donations. Donors can schedule a donation by visiting SouthTexasBlood.org or calling 210-731-5590. While appointments are recommended, walk-in donations will also be accepted as space allows at donor centers.
