Blood Drives 2022

Blood Drives 2022
  • Commitment As Needed

The holiday season is quickly approaching, and we want to invite you to donate at the Church of the Resurrection blood drives before life gets too busy! The holidays are always a challenging time for blood collection, and though donations often drop, the need for blood does not. Help the Community Blood Center maintain a safe and stable blood supply in the Kansas City area this season by donating. All presenting donors at any Church of the Resurrection blood drive will be entered in a drawing to win Chiefs tickets to the Jan. 1 game!

Can I Donate? To find out, we encourage you to go online and visit the Community Blood Center to get the facts.

Appointments are strongly encouraged. Please know walk-ins will be safely worked in as space allows. Masks are optional.

We dedicate Church of the Resurrection's Blood Drive donations in memory of Matthew Joyner, who entered God's kingdom eternal on April 20, 2005. The blood drive began in response to Matthew's need for blood during a surgery. With this young man's legacy, it has grown to a quarterly drive blessing thousands with the gift of life from blood transfusions!
