Jesus shed His blood for us, and now it is our turn, in appreciation of His sacrifice.
Giving blood or plasma is a unique gift of physical life and health to the stranger in need, and there is a constant need to recruit more donors and to boost donations, says Canadian Blood Services. The Easter Blood Drive initiative allows us to show God’s love and compassion to our fellow citizens, acting in unity as the Christian church.
There are a variety of ways to be involved, including donating blood or plasma, making a financial donation or volunteering to serve at a local donation centre.
Blood is a central concept in our Christian faith. We are especially mindful of it at Easter when we reflect on the suffering and death of our Saviour Jesus: “In him we have redemption through his blood” (Ephesians 1:7).
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?
Our goal is to reach 500 donors this year and fill hundreds of blood donation appointments 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
