Volunteers in Action: Donate Blood to Help Save Lives

Mon Apr 21 - Sun Apr 27

donor day memorial blood centers

What: JFCS is once again partnering with Memorial Blood Centers to give hope to hospital patients in our community through a weeklong blood drive

When: JFCS Donor Days will go from Apr 21-27 with blood donation appointments available at various locations around town, with times throughout the week

Where: You get to choose whichever MBC donor center is most convenient for you

Why: Blood donors are needed to help patients receive their treatment and MBC can really use our help to replenish the blood supply

Did you know…
  • Every two seconds, someone in the US needs blood
  • One donation can save up to three lives
  • Less than 10% of the eligible US population (38%) donates annually
  • The number one reason people haven’t given blood is that no one ever asked them
So, we are asking you now – will you join us in this mitzvah (good deed) to give hope to others? Whether you’re a regular or a first-time donor, we hope you will sign up for an appointment and spread the word to others in your network who may be interested.
