Mobile donation trucks have been canceled, now they need our help

It only takes around an hour of your time. You walk away with some nice gifts, and you get to save lives thanks to your donation.

We are only two months into the year and it seems like Amarillo never slows down. There is always something going on. Of course, some are good and some bad. It's just the way things seem to go.

When Carla Contreras was twelve years old she lost her battle with lukemia. Cancer sucks. We can all admit it. When it is a fight for a child it is even worse. Why is this a thing?

The pandemic has created a new level of need for blood donations, now they are facing another shortage due to the incredible cold weather here in the panhandle.

Coffee Memorial’s life-saving stock of blood has reached a less-than-one-day supply. Typically, Coffee Memorial maintains a three- to five-day supply for local hospitals.

Thursday, April 30, Coffee Memorial Blood Center will team up with BurgerFi for a blood drive to help prevent a blood shortage.

I had an incredible day with a family and friends that came together at Coffee Memorial Blood Center at what would be Carla’s 18th birthday

According to a press release, Coffee Memorial usually has a three-to-five-day supply on hand for local hospitals. Levels have dwindled to less than one day.

It's hard to fathom yourself or a loved one in a lifesaving situation. You never know when you're in need of blood to save your life.

With Memorial Day weekend here, it means a critical time for emergency blood providers, and the Coffee Memorial Blood Center is the biggest provider in all of West Texas!  Serving the entire Texas Panhandle, Coffee always finds themselves in a crunch during holiday weekends.  So please if you have some time today or tomorrow, give the gift of life, donate blood!  Save a neighbor this Memorial Day!
