Central California Blood Center urgently needs donors with Type O blood
Have Type O blood? The Central California Blood Center needs your help.
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Central California Blood Center is calling on Valley blood donors for urgent help.
Officials with the blood center said their blood Type O supply was significantly depleted overnight due to trauma incidents, and they're asking for people with Type O for donations.
The pandemic has made it difficult for the center to receive donations, and each donor can help make a big difference.

They say the entire process takes about an hour, including the screening and paperwork.
