For the fourth consecutive year, the Bay Area’s interfaith community will rally together in support of the American Red Cross and the local blood supply.
The Interfaith Community Blood Drive, which is comprised of dozens of individual blood drives, is an annual event that takes place each July–a difficult time of year to collect blood.
“Historically, we see a decrease in blood donations across the nation during the summer months,” said Justin Mueller, manager of donor recruitment for the Red Cross in Northern California. “The Interfaith Community Blood Drive has helped us mitigate that decline locally and we now collect more in July than in many other months.”
Blood drives will be held at places of worship throughout the Bay Area – stretching from Sonoma County to Monterey County. More than 10 different faith-based groups take part in the event each year, but the primary sponsors are the local Mormon and Catholic churches.
