A roast chicken giveaway has boosted blood supplies, during a blood donation drive in Miaoli.
The Fubon Charity Foundation paired with local enterprises in Miaoli County for the campaign, offering 300 roast chickens to donors, which were snapped up in less than half an hour.
City officials say Typhoon Danas led to a drop in blood inventory across the island, and organizers hoped the giveaway would encourage peopel to roll up their sleeves.
Local blood centers say the area typically needs 1-thousand bags of blood each day to meet hospital demand, and the current inventory is around the safe level of seven days.
But blood levels remain low in central and southern Taiwan, and centers are urging the public to continue donating generously.
