Local blood donation center asking for donors after rushing to aid NAS Pensacola after shooting

Jacksonville, FL — OneBlood, a local blood donation center, is asking donors to help replenish its supply after rushing blood to Pensacola to help meet the needs of the victims of a mass shooting at NAS Pensacola.

In a press release, OneBlood said its quick response to the tragedy helped Pensacola hospitals treat the wounded and met the immediate needs of the victims.

The area does need to replenish its supply of blood and platelets, however.

OneBlood is asking all eligible donors to make a donation by visiting a donor center, Big Red Bus blood drive, or making an appointment online at oneblood.org.

Donors should be 16 years or older and weight at least 110 pounds.
