To help combat this shortage, WeLoveU has partnered with regional blood centers to promote the lifesaving blood collection which is critical to the nation’s health infrastructure.
This event is one of over 20 blood drives taking place throughout the US as a part of WeLoveU’s National Blood Drive Campaign.
WeLoveU’s Los Angeles blood drive captured the attention of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer who commended the spirit of the WeLoveU volunteers.
The blood drive will be carried out in accordance with CDC guidelines for social distancing. Community members are invited to sign up and participate.
Blood donors must be in good health and have a normal temperature on the day of donation.
The International WeLoveU Foundation is a non-governmental organization associated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications.
WeLoveU helps to spread awareness of the U.N.’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiatives which promote a better world environment and society by 2030.
