Coffee Memorial

Seasonal illnesses, including the flu, are significantly impacting blood donations. Texas is among the hardest-hit states, with widespread flu cases leading to school closures and canceled high school blood drives. Many adults caring for sick family members are also unable to donate, further straining the local blood supply.

Coffee Memorial Blood Center is calling on all healthy, eligible individuals to donate as soon as possible to help ensure patients receive the lifesaving care they need.

AUGUST 27, 2024—Let’s beef up the blood supply! Donors who give blood at Coffee Memorial Blood Center on Thursday, August 29, or Friday, August 30, will receive an all-beef hot dog and be entered for a chance to win a $250 restaurant gift card. 

Successful donors will also receive not one, but two limited-edition T-shirts: a Halloween-themed “Peoplejuice” T-shirt and a “Bigfoot Returns” T-shirt, plus one free bundtlet from Nothing Bundt Cakes. 

On the global day of giving, give someone in your community the gift of life by giving blood with Coffee Memorial Blood Center on Giving Tuesday.

Giving Tuesday takes place each year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, just after Cyber Monday, to encourage people to do good. It doesn’t have to be a monetary donation. You can give back to your community through a simple blood donation with Coffee Memorial Blood Center on Tuesday, November 28, 2023.
