Participate in Blood Drives

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, thousands of blood drives have been canceled, resulting in a shortage of over 100,000 units of blood. To address this urgent need, Brother Knights and their families who are not already isolated due to illness, age or underlying conditions are encouraged to donate blood. Your donation of a pint of blood is the gift of life so many now desperately need. Give a Pint, Save a Life!

Persons who are over the age of 60, live with someone over the age of 60, or who are otherwise at heightened risk due to illness or underlying conditions should not participate in this activity.

Action Steps

1. Identify and schedule appointments for existing blood drives using the American Red Cross Mobile App or by visiting www.redcrossblood.org in the United States or by contacting Canada Blood Services at www.blood.ca.
2. Only donate blood by appointment. Do not arrive at donation centers or drives without an appointment.
3. Spread the word to eligible family members, friends, Brother Knights and parishioners to schedule an appointment and donate blood as soon as possible.
4. Donate and save a life!
5. Report your activities with the Leave No Neighbor Behind Survey at www.kofc.org/neighbor.
