“World Blood Donor Day is a global reminder that donating blood is one of the simplest, most impactful ways to help save lives,” said Kasey Dickson, Director of Marketing and Public Relations at MBS. “Since our founding in 1979, our mission has been to provide a safe and adequate supply of voluntarily donated blood and blood components for patients in hospitals, and to support medical facilities across Mississippi. Thanks to the generous donors of Mississippi, we’ve been able to help thousands of lives. We hope this small token of appreciation encourages even more people to come out and give.”
In addition to donor centers, mobile blood drives will be held across cities like Jackson, Brookhaven, Gulfport, Greenwood, Louisville, Meridian, Yazoo City, and others throughout the week. For a full list of statewide donation opportunities, visit: msblood.com/june-16-23-mobiles
