Every two seconds, someone needs blood. Here in the Coachella Valley, especially in the summer months, we experience a local blood shortage and an increase need for residents to donate blood. Our current blood supply is critically low and surgeries may need to be canceled due to a lack of donated blood.
Thanks to Northgate Community Church in Cathedral City, you can donate blood to save a life during four upcoming blood drives:
- Friday, September 18, 8 am to 1 pm
- Wednesday, October 14, 8 am to 1 pm
- Wednesday, November 11, 8 am to 1 pm
- Wednesday, December 9, 8 am to 1 pm
Northgate Community Church is located at the corner of 30th Avenue and Date Palm Drive.
Donors can begin signing up now for the September 18th blood drive at:
