In a bid to combat the current critical shortage of blood supply, LifeSouth Community Blood Centers and Jacksonville Public Library have joined forces to make blood donation more convenient than ever.

LifeSouth, a nonprofit organization responsible for supplying blood to 80% of the local hospital beds in the community, including all Level 1 and Level 2 Trauma centers, is spearheading the campaign.
