McClure Engineering’s Commitment to Addressing the Blood Shortage Crisis
Standing Together for a Healthy Future: McClure Engineering’s Ongoing Commitment to Blood Donation Initiatives.
In January 2024, a nationwide emergency was declared by the American Red Cross in response to a significant shortage of blood and platelets. With donations dwindling over the years and supplies plummeting by over 25% since July 1, 2024, the gravity of the situation cannot be understated. The potential exacerbation of this crisis looms, especially with unpredictable winter weather and seasonal illnesses affecting donation numbers.
At McClure Engineering, we recognize the urgent need for action in the face of this dire scenario. Our recent July Blood Drive stands as a testament to our dedication and the unwavering support of our community. Together, we gathered 26 units of blood, underscoring the power of collective effort in potentially saving 78 lives. In addition to this glimmer of hope, we welcomed 5 first-time donors whose bravery and compassion shine through their participation.
We express our deepest appreciation to all who joined us in this crucial cause and look forward to our next Blood Drive scheduled for September 16, 2024. Having amassed over 1,200 units of blood in our endeavors, equivalent to aiding 3,600 individuals, McClure Engineering remains steadfast in our commitment to making a difference. Our vision transcends the present as we strive to create a future where blood shortages are but a distant memory.
Join us on this journey of impact and solidarity as we stand together to ensure a stable blood supply for those in need. Let us turn the tide against scarcity and collectively write a narrative of hope, resilience, and compassion.
