One person’s blood donation can save the life of a father. A sister. A child. Imagine how many lives can be touched if an entire organization made the commitment to Give Life! Canadian Blood Services’ Partners for Life program gives Winnipeg companies, community groups, schools, service clubs, and more, the opportunity to show their commitment to the community by saving lives through donating blood. Every week in Manitoba, 1000 units of blood are needed to keep up with local patient demand. Over 120 organizations in Winnipeg, with staff ranging from 5 to 5000, come together to roll up their sleeves and help ensure a safe, consistent supply of blood for hospital patients in our community. |

- Partnering with Canadian Blood Services is a great way to increase your corporate profile while meeting your social responsibility objectives.
- Celebrate your success
- Let your employees, customers and others know how you are building a stronger, healthier community.

Summer is always a challenging time for blood collections across Canada as blood donation isn’t top of mind. Many donors are at the lake, enjoying the outdoors, and spending time with family. With that said, blood donation is crucial in the summer as many hospitals see blood usage rise. With summer in full swing, Winnipeg is currently seeing a significant appointment deficit. You have the power to Give Life! Canadian Blood Services can offer roundtrip transportation for you and your staff to donate blood and convenient appointment times to ensure a quick, efficient donation. |
