Mark June 1 on your calendar for our next Stephen Wise Temple Red Cross Blood Drive. Since March of 2020, Stephen Wise Temple and Schools’ Red Cross blood drives have helped hundreds of people in need, and with our nation still facing its worst blood shortage in over a decade, it’s time to do our part again.
Every day, doctors and nurses at hospitals are forced to make impossible decisions about which patients should receive life-saving transfusions over others. Blood supplies were so thin that in January, the trauma center at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center had to close down because it did not have enough blood to meet demand. The month of May is shaping up to be just as bad, if not worse. By signing up to donate on June 1 at Wise, you can literally help save lives.
The Red Cross team follows strict guidelines to ensure that giving blood is safe and effective. Appointments are required, no walk-ins will be allowed, and social distancing and safe hygiene practices will be in place.
Please join us and give the gift of life! To make your appointment, please click here to sign up for your spot using our sponsor code: “StephenWise” For any eligibility questions, please contact [email protected].
