With summer vacations and lower-than-usual donations, hospitals are being forced to dip into reserves — and blood only lasts 42 days.

To help, Canadian Blood Services is adding weekend slots and even accepting whole blood at some plasma sites. If you’re eligible, book now — online, via the app, or by calling 1-888-2-DONATE. Quebecers, Hema-Quebec is also struggling — book at hemaquebec.ca. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
