DAYTON — The Dayton Community Blood Center is in critical need of Type-O negative blood, a spokesperson said Friday.

As of today, CBC only has a two-day supply of Type O-negative. In addition to the type O-negative shortage, CBC says more donors are needed to help compensate for limited blood collections during the Thanksgiving holiday week.

CBC will give a free $10 Kroger gift card to everyone who registers to donate at any CBC blood drive or the CBC Donation Center through Saturday, Nov. 26.

Additionally, anyone who registers to donate through Dec. 3 is automatically entered in the “Battle of Ohio” drawing to win two tickets to the Bengals vs. Browns game Dec. 11 at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, the spokesperson said.
