This Thanksgiving season, LifeShare Blood Center is giving thanks to its lifesaving donors. From November 22–26, every donor who gives blood, platelets, or plasma at LifeShare will receive a free long-sleeve tee and a $15 voucher toward the purchase of a ham or turkey, redeemable at a wide variety of grocers.
The week of Thanksgiving is one of the most challenging times of the year for the local blood supply. While families travel and gather for the holidays, the need for blood in hospitals is constant. Accidents, surgeries, cancer treatments, and emergency situations continue every day—even as donations tend to dip due to holiday closures at normal collection points, such as schools and businesses.
“Blood donors are the reason patients across our region have access to lifesaving care,” said Mandi Johnson, Director of Community Engagement at LifeShare Blood Center.“We are especially grateful during the holidays, when it can be easy to overlook donating. Every gift of blood during this time truly means so much to the patients who need it.”
By giving an hour of time, donors provide hope and healing to patients in need—and this year, a $15 voucher toward the purchase of a ham or turkey adds a little extra thanks.
