We are so proud of our 8 members in Halifax who took time before the holidays to donate blood. Here are some of their reasons why: "I have donated for over 40 years because it's a good thing to do. Now, I do it because my Dad and others need transfusions on a regular basis." "I have two important reasons to donate. One for MC and the other in memory of my late friend."... "This year, my reason for donating took on a more personal note with the battle my friend so bravely fought (AML) for an entire year before losing her battle in November." ‘Tis the season for giving and giving back.

Please join us in showing your love for humanity today and every day. #NationalPhilanthropyDay
