Sudbury blood donors have a perfect opportunity to sit back, relax and give the gift of life while dedicated volunteer elves provide them an extra seasonal service.
Volunteers at Canadian Blood Services’ Sudbury Donor Centre will wrap the gifts of blood donors for four days this holiday season.
The gift wrapping service will be available on the following days and times:
- Monday, Dec. 16, 3 to 7 p.m.
- Thursday Dec. 19, 3 to 7 p.m.
- Friday, Dec. 20, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
- Monday, Dec. 23, 3 to 7 p.m.
The organization as well as community partners have contributed to buy gift wrap and other decorations. Blood donors are welcome to bring in gifts that can be reasonably wrapped in 45 minutes.
A blood donation usually takes an hour from start to finish, from registration, to screening, to donating and then enjoying refreshments at the end of the process.
Canadian Blood Services’ Sudbury Donor Centre is located at 944 Barrydowne Rd. Donors can book by visiting blood.ca, calling 1-888-2-DONATE, or using the GiveBlood app on mobile devices.
People who are unable to donate blood can give financially, volunteer, and encourage others in their network to support Canada’s Lifeline.
