Give the Gift of Life at One of Four Lourdes Blood Drives

Although 60 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to give blood, only five percent does so, according to the American Red Cross.

That five percent must meet 100 percent of the need for blood in our country.

During the winter months, fewer donors tend to give, so donations are especially needed. You can give the gift of life by donating blood on Tuesday, January 17, at one of these three Lourdes Health System locations:

Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center - Auditorium

1600 Haddon Avenue

Camden, NJ

7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County - Cafeteria

218 Sunset Road

Willingboro, NJ

9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Lourdes Medical Associates – Donor Bus

500 Grove Street

Haddon Heights, NJ

9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

All presenting donors will receive a voucher for a free medium Dunkin’ Donuts hot coffee and a donut.

On Friday, January 27, donors can give the gift of life at LourdesCare at Cherry Hill – conference room, 1 Brace Road, Cherry Hill, NJ, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. All presenting donors at LourdesCare at Cherry Hill will also receive a voucher for a free medium Dunkin’ Donuts hot coffee and a donut.
