Mon. April 21 – Sun. April 27, 2025
Memorial Blood Centers – various locations throughout the Twin Cities
What: JFCS is partnering with MBCs to give hope to hospital patients in our community through a weeklong blood drive.
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 2 seconds, someone in the US needs blood
· One donation can save up to 3 lives
· Less than 10% of the eligible US population (38%) donates annually
· The #1 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.
Need another reason to donate blood through JFCS’s Donors Days this spring? You’ll receive a voucher for a FREE Crisp & Green salad or grain bowl at participating donor centers! More info at the link below.
Register here for an appointment. Be sure to indicate ‘JFCS’ in the appointment notes portion and tell them when you arrive for your appointment that you are part of the JFCS group.
