Have a Heart – Donate Blood at The Christopher James Blood Drive!

There is a blood shortage and we need to help.  An American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be on site outside our store and taking blood donations. I give blood every 8 weeks and it is a simple process that usually takes 30 – 45 minutes from sit down to completion. Before the Red Cross can commit their time and resources we need to gauge the participation level. We do not have an exact date planned but most likely it will be in August and held on a weekday. I know that you cannot 100% commit without all the specifics but can you get back to me letting me know if you think you may be able to donate? Once I hear back from enough people I can set the time and date and send out a more detailed request.

I have been fortunate to meet a recipient of a donation and he and the Red Cross were VERY appreciative. To show my appreciation anyone who stops in to make a donation will receive a pair of the best men’s socks in the market from our friend Edward Armah along with a certificate to purchase any one in stock regular priced item at 20% off.

I look forward to hearing from you.  Use the form below if you are interested.
