Muslims for Life Blood Drive-2018

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, is holding a country wide campaign called Muslims For Life, and plan on collecting 12,000 units this year.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, the oldest Muslim organization in America, is holding a country wide campaign called Muslims For Life, and plan on collecting more than 12,000 units of blood this year during the month of September. This is our way of honoring the victims of 9/11. We want to spread the real message of Islam Ahmadiyya which is, "Love for All, Hatred for None". The goal of this campaign is to collect blood and help save lives. It is a continuation of the theme that Islam teaches peace, love, harmony and sanctity of all life.

Since inception, the Muslims for Life campaigns have helped arrange some 1,174 blood drives which collected 54,477 pints - enough to have saved 162,351 lives. Some of our partners include American Red Cross, America’s Blood Centers, Carter Blood Care, Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, American Islamic Congress, Bowl for Life, Blood Centers of the Pacific, KPFT Radio, The Community Blood Center, Community Blood Center of Kansas, Miller Keystone Blood Center, Trinity United Methodist Church, Jewish Community Center, Houston Congregation for Reform Judaism, and Hosana Lutheran Church. We sincerely thank all organizations whose collaboration made all this possible. We are grateful to them all and pray that God bless them for their assistance and I hope our American brethren will join us in donating their blood for this cause.
