If you are not attending the 2025 Church of the Brethren Annual Conference, you can still participate in the Blood Drive by donating locally as part of the VIRTUAL BLOOD DRIVE.
We will note the number of in-person AND local donations in the Annual Conference Blood Drive totals.
All you need to do is:
– PLEDGE today to give blood by clicking on the red banner above. Or let Brethren Disaster Ministries (BDM) know of your intention (contact info below) Pledging helps us plan and helps us follow up with you. But you can participate without pledging.
– FIND a local blood drive (www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive OR through your local blood services agency) and make an appointment to donate between June 1 and July 31, 2025. OR organize a blood drive at your church!
– TELL BDM (through this portal or an email/phone call to BDM) that you followed through with your pledge. This is the only way we will know of, and be able to count, your donation.
– TAKE A PHOTO, if you can, to encourage others.
It’s that easy!
WHY DONATE?
1 in 4 people will need blood at some point in their lives.
1 pint of blood can save 3 lives!
Red Cross needs to collect 15,000 blood donations every day—will you give one of those?
Together we can put the Power of Faith into Action to save lives!
Help us meet our goal of 50 units. Join our Virtual Blood Drive!
