The Rock River Valley Blood Center (RRVBC) has partnered with Lyfe Dispensary to host the Freeport Bleed for Weed Blood Drive, an event aimed at encouraging the local community to donate blood.
This blood drive will take place on Monday, March 22, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Grand River Hall, located at 101 S Liberty Ave #1, Freeport, IL.
As part of this special event, blood donors will be thanked for their life-saving contributions with a voucher for 1/8 of a flower or an edible product of the dispensary’s choice. Donors can redeem their voucher at Lyfe Dispensary in Rockford, IL. In addition to the voucher, all blood donors will receive a free t-shirt while supplies last.
“We are thrilled to partner with Lyfe Dispensary to host this unique and community-focused event,” said Maggie Anderson, marketing and recruitment specialist of the Rock River Valley Blood Center. “Blood donations are crucial in saving lives, and by offering an incentive, we hope to encourage more people to give and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.”
The Freeport Bleed for Weed Blood Drive comes at a time when local blood supplies are critically low. Donating blood is an easy and safe way to contribute to the health and well-being of the community. Each donation can save up to three lives, and the need for blood is constant in hospitals across the region.
