Versiti and Amazon have teamed up to help save local lives this summer through blood donation. From August 1 – 12, 2022, Amazon will open several Metro Detroit locations to the public to offer convenient opportunities for Michiganders to roll up their sleeves to help local patients in need.
“We are thrilled to partner with Amazon and grateful for their generosity to provide an opportunity for both employees and community members to donate much-needed lifesaving blood,” said Dawn Kaiser, area vice president and director of donor services, Versiti. “Blood supplies nationwide continue to be at historically low levels, and the Amazon Gives blood drive is a great way to help ensure hospitals have the blood needed to treat patients.”
“Amazon strives to be a strong local community partner in Metro Detroit and we are continuously looking for opportunities to support those who live and work here,” said Pariss Gray, community connections leader, Amazon. “We are more than happy to partner with Versiti in organizing a blood drive that will save lives in the local Metro Detroit community Amazon serves.”
As a token of gratitude, all attempting donors will receive a brightly colored Versiti water bottle and a limited-edition commemorative T-shirt while supplies last.
