Blood Drive (Resurrection Downtown)

This year, 2025, marks our 31st year of hosting Community Blood Center’s Blood Drives.

Summer has brought an expected decline in donations, driven by vacations and school breaks, but combined with increased trauma cases, the impact on the local blood supply has been severe with overall collections down nearly 25%, putting patient care at risk. Join us this August as Resurrection continues its life-saving legacy of blood donation – for over 30 years, our congregation has been the Kansas City area’s largest blood drive partner, helping collect more than 60,000 units of blood to serve our neighbors in need. Thanks to recent changes at the Community Blood Center, more people than ever are now eligible to donate, and your single donation can save up to three lives, making this simple act of generosity one of the most impactful ways to serve our community. Be part of this powerful ministry of healing by signing up for one of our August blood drives – together, we can ensure that vital blood products are available when our neighbors need them most. All presenting donors at the August drive will receive a free Royals t-shirt.

Over the past three decades, Resurrection has hosted more than 300 blood drives resulting in the collection of nearly 60,000 units of lifesaving blood products, making us the single largest blood drive partner in the Greater Kansas City area.

Invite everyone you know who is 16 years and older to join you as we try to keep our local blood supply at a safe level.

Can I Donate? The Community Blood Center has a new donor screening process in accordance with updated FDA recommendations. Now, all donors are asked the same risk-based questions, lifting restrictions that prohibited blood donations from gay and bisexual men. To find out if you are now eligible visit: Individual Donor Assessment (IDA) – Community Blood Center of Greater Kansas City (CBC) (savealifenow.org). We encourage you to go online and visit the Community Blood Center to get the facts. Reasons for not being eligible to donate may change at any time. If you have been ineligible in the past, there is a good chance you are now be able to donate.
