Blood & Food Donations Urgently Needed in Chicagoland Community Amid COVID-19 Pandemic
Blood & Food Donations Urgently Needed in Chicagoland Community
Right now, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world and our Chicagoland community faces unprecedented challenges. We currently have severe shortages in blood donations and the economic impact of COVID-19 is likely to increase food insecurity as well.
In times of hardship, BOMA/Chicago members have always rallied together to support the community. Right now, Chicago needs your support more than ever. Will you help us save lives by donating blood and food to our neighbors who are facing hardships?
Please note that the FDA is urging all communities to donate blood and that giving blood and hosting a drive are not considered “gatherings.” Also, if you have a blood drive scheduled within the next month, our partners ask that you do not cancel. Right now, every unit of blood matters.
