Australian Red Cross Lifeblood announced the David Street facility would open each Sunday between 8am and 2pm, starting February 13.

About 30 appointments will be available in that session.

Donor centre manager Sergio De Marchi said the extra day would help meet the growing demand for blood and plasma.

"Opening Sundays means we can collect generous donations from more than 30 additional donors to save an additional 90 lives each week," he said.

"Every year we need to collect around 14,500 donations here in Albury,"

The donor centre has more than 670 appointments to be filled over the next four weeks.
