Everyone is welcome, tell your family and friends.
Here are some tips to help make your rewarding experience easy:
- Bring current photo ID
- Wear a face covering (LifeStream staff does, too)
- Maintain your regular meal schedule
- Increase your fluid intake (water is best) in the 48 hours prior to donation
The "9 Cities Challenge" is a friendly competition between the Coachella Valley's nine cities to see which community will get the most involved in collecting blood donations.
The challenge goes from July 1 to August 31.
"This two month initiative is about the importance of community well-being. For the benefit of patients in need who are in peril without a safe, ample blood supply being available, we ask that you be a visible, outspoken advocate within your community for the cause of voluntary blood donation," reads the announcement by Lifestream.
