The Northern California Community Blood Bank is calling on the generous residents of Ferndale and surrounding communities to roll up their sleeves for a vital cause. A blood drive will be held at the Ferndale Fire Department, located at 436 Brown St, on Tuesday, June 3rd, from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
This is your chance to make a tangible difference in someone's life, and as a token of appreciation, all donors will receive a delicious steak dinner! For those with dietary preferences, a satisfying vegan/vegetarian option will also be readily available.
Mark Your Calendars and Give the Gift of Life
While the steak dinner is a wonderful incentive, the true reward of donating blood lies in the profound impact it has. Blood transfusions are a critical component of modern medicine, essential for:
Trauma Victims: Individuals involved in accidents, fires, or other emergencies often require significant blood transfusions to survive.
Cancer Patients: Many cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, can suppress bone marrow function, leading to a need for blood and platelet transfusions.
Surgical Patients: Major surgeries frequently require blood to replace what is lost during the procedure.
Patients with Chronic Illnesses: Conditions like sickle cell anemia and thalassemia necessitate regular blood transfusions for patients to maintain their health.
Mothers and Newborns: Blood is often needed during complicated childbirths and for infants with certain medical conditions.
The demand for blood is constant, and a single donation can save up to three lives. The Northern California Community Blood Bank relies on the continued generosity of donors to maintain a healthy and readily available blood supply for hospitals throughout the region.
Donating blood is a safe and relatively quick process. The friendly and professional staff from the Northern California Community Blood Bank will be on hand to ensure a comfortable experience for all donors.
Important Donor Information:
Please bring a valid photo ID.
Earlier in the day make sure you eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of fluids before donating.
Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that can be easily rolled up.
Don't miss this opportunity to help your community. Your donation can provide hope, healing, and even life itself. We look forward to seeing you at the Ferndale Fire Department on June 3rd!
