City Council has announced that it is sponsoring a “Summer District Challenge” in response to a lack of blood donations in the San Antonio area.
A press release said blood supply levels are critically low and hospital orders have outpaced donations. The rapid population growth in South Texas also has driven up demand by 15-20% this year, city officials said.
Councilmembers are sponsoring the blood drives with the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center within their districts to see who can bring in the most donors.Mario Bravo, District 1: Gabriella’s Smile Foundation on Aug. 9Phyllis Viagran, District 3: Harvey E.
