ImpactLife is partnering with local blood donors and drive hosts on community blood drives in the Tri-State region and surrounding communities during the week of August 10. We appreciate the support of local volunteers who step forward as volunteer donors and blood drive coordinators!

The overall rate of blood donation decreases during the summer months, so donations are especially needed this time of year. All donors will receive ImpactLife Donor Rewards: choice of electronic gift card, points to use in the ImpactLife Donor Rewards Store, or the option to contribute an equivalent value to a nonprofit through the blood center's "Good Giving" initiative. More information at www.bloodcenter.org/rewards.
