Mississippi Blood Services (MBS) is partnering with nationally known jewelry retailer Kendra Scott for a RESCUE Program Contribution Day on Tuesday, February 10, benefiting the Rural Emergency Services Care, blood Utilization and Survival (RESCUE) Program.
About the RESCUE Program
The RESCUE Program is an innovative collaboration between Mississippi Blood Services, Paladin Emergency Service Consulting, Magnolia Ambulance, local emergency responders, and community partners. Launched in September 2024, the program equips ambulances in rural communities—where access to trauma care is limited and rates of traumatic injuries are high—with lifesaving prehospital blood products.
In just over a year, the program has made a dramatic impact across the state and has received statewide recognition for its lifesaving treatments. Since its launch, the RESCUE Program has served rural counties including Leake, Noxubee, Scott, Sharkey/Issaquena, and Winston, utilizing 40 units of blood in emergency transfusions.
How to Support on February 10–11
To support this ongoing initiative, Kendra Scott will donate 20% of all sales made on February 10–11, both:
