VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Still in the giving mood? The Canadian Blood Services is hoping you give them a call.

Donations are really low right now, mainly because a lot of people go away for the holidays.

They need about 14,000 donors by the end of January.

Appointments are still available.

The blood is mostly used in emergency situations.
