United We Give blood drive will be held at Stand Up for America celebration in the park

As plans are being made to celebrate Independence Day this year with family and friends, LifeShare Blood Center is urging donors to include donating blood within their plans. United We Give is an annual LifeShare tradition created to encourage donors to be mindful of our community blood supply needs. Everyone who participates in United We Give will receive a LifeShare ‘United We Give, United We Live’ t-shirt.

Local hospitals like Howard Memorial Hospital depends on blood supply quantities to be maintained at all times, however, traditionally, LifeShare struggles to keep up with demand of blood products during the summer. United We Give aims to bring awareness to the need for blood products this summer.

United We Give serves as a reminder that we are all reliant on the community blood supply. 1 in 3 people will use blood at some point in their lives. To maintain the blood that all families will need, the community must unite together during the most challenging times to do their part.

LifeShare will hold a United We Give blood drive on Saturday, July 2 from noon to 7 pm at the Nashville City Park during Stand Up for America.
