Regular Blood Drives
Ever since 2017, New Hope has been a regular 56-day drive site, collecting 4-5 times the amount of blood at each drive than what is 'typical' for a rural setting like Loudonville, Ohio. What an easy way to serve and make a difference in the world... showing up every other month to donate some blood. It literally saves people's lives every time you donate!
* DID YOU KNOW? *
Donated blood only lasts for 42 days. It cannot be 'put on a shelf' so to speak and stored up for whenever needed. This means that blood is in constant demand, and it's not just for trauma victims. There are many people who have health conditions that require regular blood transfusions in order to survive. If you had a loved one who needed blood to live, you would most definitely put yourself through any uncomfortable situation necessary in order to save them. What makes other people any less important? Can you put yourself through a few minutes of discomfort every 56 days so that other people can get the blood they need to survive? Please consider signing up for the next drive. The dates are listed below, as well as a link to the sign up sheet through the Red Cross.
