SUMMARY:Summer Blood Drive
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Beth El’s blood drive and help make a lifesaving difference in our community. This will be the last opportunity to donate blood at Beth El before the High Holidays. \nDuring the summer\, blood donations decline as many people travel and vacation\, while the need for blood remains high due to an increase in accidents and traumatic injuries. Your donation can help ensure that hospitals have the blood supply they need when it matters most. \nOur goal is to collect 50 units of blood\, which could help save or improve the lives of up to 150 people. \nWhether you’re a regular donor or considering giving blood for the first time\, we hope you’ll join us in this important mitzvah. \nClick here to reserve your time slot. \nFor assistance\, contact Jon Simon at jonathan747@gmail.com or Jack Ventura jack.ventura@verizon.net\, or call 240-997-3356. We also need non-donor volunteers to assist with the drive! Please contact Jack or Jon if you would like to help.
