Red Cross Blood Drive in Vienna, September 25 -- Each Recipient has a Story
Church of the Holy Comforter, Vienna partners with the American Red Cross. Each recipient of your blood donation has his or her own story.
Every unit donated at our blood drive can help save up to three lives. Each recipient of that blood donation has his or her own story. He or she could be an accident or trauma victim, cancer patient, a mother giving birth, a premature baby, a transplant recipient or surgical candidate. Our impact goes beyond that patient – it is multiplied by the impact it has on that person’s loved ones who are thankful for the unit we donated.
The American Red Cross could not meet patient needs and touch all of those lives if it were not for caring donors and community blood drives.
Church of the Holy Comforter's upcoming blood drive collection goal on Friday, September 25 is 30 units. Think about all of the lives we can touch by signing up to donate. A typical donation takes less than one hour. If you can’t give, you can still make an impact by encouraging others to give using your social media channels and network.

Remember that every blood donation has a story attached to it. The story of why we donated; each volunteer’s story of why they helped; the story of why we hosted the blood drives and the recipient’s story when they receive a generous donation. Consider making your personal story part of the collective stories.
Join us in supporting the drive, the Red Cross and our community on September 25. You can REGISTER HERE or by using the Blood Donor app. We look forward to your participation and seeing you there!
