Did you know that donating blood helps relieve stress? As we celebrate National Stress Awareness Month, we’ve partnered with Vitalant for a community blood drive. In addition to improving your mental health, you’ll also be saving a life. All blood types needed, but the O types are urgently needed. By design, the donor chair only offers the option to kick back and relax while giving back. According to The Mental Health Foundation, engaging in selfless service activities, such as blood donation, can create a “Helper’s High,” or an overall positive feeling that comes with doing some good. Additionally, the foundation also says donating blood has benefits beyond stress relief, which include: • Improving Emotional Well-being • Positively Impacting Physical Health • Eliminating Negative Feelings • Creating a Sense of Belonging • Reducing Isolation Anyone donating at this drive will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of (20) $420 gift cards. Winners of the gift cards must be opted into Vitalant’s Donor Rewards program.
