Ventura - United Blood Services Central Coast has collected nearly 1600 pints of blood entering the second week of the 3400 pint challenge. Donations in early June had declined dramatically as the public’s focus shifted to graduation, vacation plans and visiting relatives. United Blood Service Central Coast issued a 3400 pint challenge to raise awareness of the summer roller coaster donation trends that can trigger blood shortages. The challenge started June 16th and will end July 3rd as United Blood Services works with a number of promotional partners to encourage and thank volunteer blood donors.

In Ventura County, The Habit Burger Grill has partnered with United Blood Services through July 3rd. If you are over age 17 and weigh at least 110 pounds, donate blood at a nearby Blood Center (in Ventura, Camarillo or Thousand Oaks) or at a nearby blood drive. Every Ventura County blood donor who donates blood will help us reach the 3400 pint challenge and walk away with a certificate for a FREE CHARBURGER, FRIES AND COKE from The Habit Burger Grill as a special thank you.
