 | Please Give Blood! |
With the recent travel restrictions and the stay at home order, many blood donation sites have been shut down.
Governor Whitmer is encouraging Michiganders to give blood.
With Charity being the first principle of our order, please consider donating.
The Knights of Columbus was the first national organization to have a blood donor program. Now they collect more than 400,000 pints of blood each year.
By being the first national organization to sponsor a donor program, the Knights of
Columbus became a pioneer in blood donation. In 1938, two years before the Red Cross’s wartime blood drive, Knights of Columbus councils worked with local hospitals to organize blood drives in centers set up by Knights.
