7CK Community Blood Drive

By WHIO Staff

DAYTON — The need for blood is urgent and constant. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. However, this past summer the American Red Cross has reported the lowest number of blood donations in 20 years—about 62% of the U.S. population is eligible to give blood but only about 3% donates.

7 Circle of Kindness believes that by coming together, we in the Miami Valley have the power to help.

Join the first-ever 7 Circle of Kindness Community Blood Drive on Tuesday, October 1st, 2024, from 8 AM to 6 PM. The event, sponsored by Morris Home and Ashley, will take place at the Red Cross Miami Valley location. Address: 370 West 1st Street. Dayton, OH 45402.

Pre-register today to save your blood donation spot and make your appointment more efficient. You can do this via the Red Cross Blood donor app, by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or visiting RedCrossBlood.org (use sponsor code “7Circle” typed as one word with no space), or through the link below:

Walk-ins are also welcome but may come with a longer wait.

Anyone who shows up to give blood during the 7 Circle of Kindness Community Blood Drive or any Red Cross drives during the month of October will receive a $10 Amazon.com e-gift card and will be automatically entered for a chance to win one of three $5,000 gift cards. In addition to that, Morris Home and Ashley will offer a $100 off $998+ purchase coupon to their Dayton region stores for each registered 7 Circle of Kindness Community Blood Drive participant.
