Inova Blood Donor services will be on-hand at the Del Ray Farmer’s Market this Saturday.
Inova says that there’s a “critical shortage of blood, especially type O, due to increased usage in treating patients with critical injuries,” and will be hosting a number of blood drives throughout the region.
“Donations of any blood type, but particularly those with type O blood, could be the vital support these patients require,” Inova said in a release. “By donating, you directly impact lives and help replenish the blood supply to meet this urgent demand.”
Inova’s “Bloodmobile” will be at 2309 Mount Vernon Avenue from 8 a.m. to noon.
