Blood Donation 2023

Blood Donation 2023

THIS FALL, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO DONATE!

This fall, why not take a crucial step and give meaning to life by donating blood? Hundreds of people need your donation to recover their health. Héma-Québec is organizing a collection near you. All you have to do is make an appointment! Who knows? You might even make it a habit!

LOCATION: Plateau Christian Church (Main Hall)

ADDRESS: 118 Plateau Boulevard, Gatineau

DATE: Wednesday, November 29, 2023, between 1:30 PM and 7:00 PM

GOAL: Convince 70 donors to roll up their sleeves for a small blood donation.

Héma-Québec recommends making an appointment before showing up for the collection. You can easily do so online at www.hema-quebec.qc.ca/trois-facons-simples or by phone at 1-800-343-7264.

Don't hesitate, roll up your sleeves! It's essential to join forces to maintain our collective blood reserve. In this regard, the contribution of each person who breaks the ice and makes an appointment is very important. Will you be one of those who do it before winter sets in? If you fear the needle, know that the people on-site are qualified to guide you through this experience. They will reassure you, and you will feel the pride of having given!
