Fires Disrupt Blood Drives in Nevada | Reno News

Fires in northern Nevada have forced Vitalant to cancel three blood drives, costing them 65 critical units—just as they need 150 daily to support local hospitals. With U.S. 395 closed and fire activity unpredictable, rescheduling is a moving target. But all donation centers in Reno, Sparks, and Carson City remain open—walk-ins welcome. Despite summer shortages, community donations helped stabilize supply; now they’re urging everyone to keep giving to avoid falling back into crisis. All blood types needed. Donate at vitalant.org or call 877-25-VITAL. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
