Mayor Walks the Walk to Boost Blood Donations | Topeka News

Mayor Spencer Duncan is rolling up his sleeves to boost blood donations, personally offering to walk donors through the process to ease anxiety and encourage participation. With summer vacations and disrupted routines causing a dip in donations — down to just ten to fifty donors a day — the Community Blood Center is sounding the alarm. This vital hub supplies blood, platelets, plasma, and red cells to hospitals across northeast Kansas, including Topeka’s main facilities. Donating takes about 45 minutes, and appointments can be booked via the Donor Plus app, phone, or in person. Mobile drives and local hospital sites also offer opportunities — and Mayor Duncan’s hands-on approach is a powerful call to action for everyone to step up and save lives.
