Carter BloodCare

There is an urgent appeal for East Texans to donate blood as the current available blood supply is critically low.

Another "grim result" of the winter weather: The community blood supply is dangerously low. Carter BloodCare urgently asks East Texans to give blood ASAP.

It was part of a holiday promotion to help with the dwindling supplies of blood during this pandemic

Carter BloodCare must register approximately 1,000 donors each day to keep up with hospital demand for blood products.

Carter BloodCare needs you help. Summer is a critical time for blood donations, and they are asking you to please donate if you are able.

Carter BloodCare is hitting streets with their mobile unit this week to help you give back to others in need. Want to answer the call to donate blood? Here's where to find them.

When you see red in the holiday colors this month – think of hospital patients in need of something red that only another person like you can gift to them – your blood.

In the aftermath of chaos and lives lost in Dallas recently, Carter BloodCare is grateful to loyal blood donors who made sure the blood center could supply local hospitals with blood products required to treat police officers and civilians, injured during an ambush following a protest march.

Mix 93-1, 101.5 KNUE, Hot 107-3 Jamz and 96X have teamed with Carter BloodCare of East Texas to host the annual Call To Arms Blood Drive from Jan. 7-12 to help save the lives of East Texans and to raise the blood supply levels here in the area.  It's comforting to know that for every pint of blood that is donated, it can help save up to three lives.

Today is the first day of the Call To Arms Blood Drive and all this week Mix 93-1 and Carter BloodCare will be all over East Texas with the mobile units collecting pints of blood.  The blood drive kicks off this morning at 11 a.m. in both Athens and Tyler.
