Thanks to those who donated & how to give if you missed the drive
Thanks to All who Donated!
We Are Blood collected 21 units of blood from St. Austin parishioners and other blood drive participants on July 16, 2023. Donations from the drive stay local and can make a lifesaving difference for patience navigating traumas, surgery, and cancer treatment. Thank you for helping save a life!
Missed the Drive? You can still give blood!
Couldn't make the July 16 blood drive? You can still donate and help save a local life this summer. Visit We Are Blood to make an appointment, see donation locations, see eligibility info, and get your questions answered.
