Maximus Community Partnership Committees have been partnering with the Red Cross over the past few years, encouraging our encouraging our employees in Rochester, Albany, and New York City to help save lives by giving blood.

The pandemic has changed the way we work and the way we live. What has not changed is the need for blood. The need is constant. The American Red Cross needs to collect more than 13,000 donations every day to have enough blood available for the 2600 hospitals, clinics, and cancer centers across the country. They rely on voluntary blood donors like you. Every donation can save up to three lives!

For employees that are looking for a way to give back to the community during their personal time, we encourage you to consider donating blood to the Red Cross, and giving the gift of life to others. Please share with neighbors, friends and family members across the country to roll up their sleeves and donate blood and save lives.

Help start off the new year by giving the gift of life to others! While this Sleeves Up campaign runs from January 15th through March, the month of January is also National Blood Donor Month.

If you are able to help this initiative, please consider scheduling a donation appointment with one of your local Red Cross locations. Donor appointment times are flexible and at most locations, available 7 days a week. Please click the link to “Pledge to Give Blood” and schedule an appointment today!

Thank you,
