Three years ago, Etz Hayim held its first blood drive to honor one of its members, Beth Hudson, who suffered a near fatal motorcycle accident in June of 2017. Beth would not have survived without the 64 units of blood that she received over the course of her recovery. She continues to volunteer for the Red Cross and is organizing this blood drive with Etz Hayim's Chavurat Ezra Committee. You can donate every eight weeks, beginning at age 17 (with parental permission), and we love first time donors of any age - it is (almost) painless, and what a MITZVAH! PLEASE MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT AT REDCROSS.COM OR 1-800 RED CROSS. Any questions, contact Beth at EtzHayimGiveBlood@gmail.com.
