Club Member Jeff Staads volunteered at the drive and donated!
The Rotary Club of Minnesota Veterans is committed to strengthening our community and helping meet hospital and patient needs through blood donations. Blood drives are a way of giving the community an opportunity to help save lives. Veterans are known for being concerned about the safety and wellbeing of others. That is why Rotary is such a good fit for those who want to serve veterans and their families.
It all began in 2020, after a Red Cross speaker presented at one of our club meetings about all that the Red Cross does for Veterans. When a club member asked what we could do to help, he suggested hosting a blood drive. Our veteran club has successfully hosted 20 Blood Drives! More than 2500 patients have received blood products from our efforts. We are especially thrilled when our donors discover that their blood products end up at the VA to help vets!
Our next drive will be Thursday, April 24, 1:00-7:00pm
Our July 24 drive appointments are already open!
