Be a hero by donating blood Labor Day weekend

Posted

KALAMAZOO, Mich.– As many people get ready to enjoy the last, unofficial weekend of summer, Michigan Blood wants to remind everyone to take a moment to pay it forward.

They urge you to donate blood during the Michigan Blood ‘Labor Day – Honor a Hero’ event, taking place now through September 5th.

The purpose is to give back to first-responders who put their lives on the line every day. It also coincides with 9/11, as the nation remembers the tragedy 15 years ago.

Every person who attempts to donate at Michigan Blood during the Labor Day promotion will receive a free $10 gift card courtesy of Meijer. After your donation, Michigan Blood invites you to sign a thank you card, which will be delivered to local first-responders in honor of the 15th Anniversary of 9/11.

You can donate at any of these locations.

Appointments are preferred for donor convenience, but not mandatory. To schedule an appointment, please call 1-866-MIBLOOD (642-5663) or schedule online through their donor portal.
