WHAT WE WILL DO:

Join Project Helping to make a donation to transform up to three lives. Following your donation, your transformative gift is typed, tested, processed, stored and distributed to patients who need it in the hospitals served by Vitalant. We’ll take a behind-the-scenes tour to see what happens to your blood donation at the Lowry facility. Please review the eligibility requirements below before committing to this experience. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility, please visit https://www.vitalant.org/Donate/Donor-Eligibility.aspx or call 877-258-4825 (877-25VITAL) and choose option 1.

OTHER DETAILS:

Vitalant, formerly Bonfils Blood center, is one of the nation’s oldest and largest nonprofit community blood service providers, supplies comprehensive transfusion medicine services to nearly 1,000 hospitals and health care partners for patients in need across 40 states. Many people believe that most blood is needed after major disasters. However, daily personal emergencies and ongoing medical needs of thousands of patients require a constant and ready blood supply. It’s the blood already on hospital shelves that saves lives. Your single blood donation can transform the lives of up to three patients. Through the act of volunteering, you are actively investing in your community while also improving your mental wellness!

Volunteering can also give us a deep sense of happiness, both immediately and long-term. * 94% of people who volunteer say that volunteering improves their mood. * 96% of people who volunteer say that volunteering enriches their sense of purpose. This is just some of the science that supports the mission at Project Helping and outlines why it’s so beneficial to do good things for others.
