With the help of Agent511, Western Kentucky Blood Center has set up a great service to let donors know when their blood type is in need. For instance, if one ' s blood type is B+ then they could volunteer to sign up for the B+ list and also the county in which they live. When there is a blood shortage (i.e., disaster situations, states of emergency, etc) , a text message will be sent to his/her phone to notify the donor and direct them to the nearest drive (Example: "Friends, The Blood Center has a shortage of B+ Blood. We will be open until midnight tonight at 717 Main Street. Thank you for saving a life. Pls. Forward."
Using text messaging, blood Centers have an immediate and instant way to continue to engage their community and save lives. Having texts sent directly to the donor's phone allows individuals to receive information anytime, anywhere. Help your community and your loved ones by taking action and donating!
