Give Blood This Easter with CHRI and Love Ottawa

Did you know...? On average, every 60 seconds someone in Canada needs blood. 1 in 2 people are eligible to donate blood, plasma, and platelets, but only 1 in 81 does.

When asked why they do not donate, the #1 answer people give is, "I was never asked." So we are asking: will you donate?

Easter Blood Drive partners with Canadian Blood Services (CBS) of Ottawa to help meet this critical need. CBS tells us we are now their 3rd largest local partner.

This is an opportunity for Christ followers to unite and demonstrate compassion in a practical way.

As we approach Easter, we reflect on how Jesus shed his blood to save us: "God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood." (Rom. 3:25).

Similarly, we can now help save others through donating our blood. You do not have to look far, perhaps in your own family, to find someone who needed blood during a health crisis. It may have even saved their life.

WILL YOU HELP?

We currently have 160 donors on our team. Our goal is to reach 400 donors this year and fill hundreds of blood donation appointments between now and Easter Week (March 23rd - 30th) at the two Ottawa centres of Canadian Blood Services.

You can help in two ways:
1. Donate blood or plasma
2. Promote the Easter Blood Drive in your church or community
