Blood Drives

In these uncertain times, patients and hospitals are relying on the generosity of blood donors to ensure a stable supply of blood for the most vulnerable among us. Healthy individuals are needed to donate now to help patients counting on lifesaving blood.

  • If you are an eligible donor, we encourage you to participate in one of our upcoming drives.

    • October 17-19, 2022
    • December 20-22, 2022

  • Donating blood is a safe process and you should not hesitate to give or receive blood. The American Red Cross is abiding by social distancing standards and is setting up their drives to have as much distance as possible between donors.

    For a limited time, the American Red Cross will test all blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies as an additional health service to its donors. This testing may provide insight as to whether donors may have possibly been exposed to the coronavirus. Results will be available within 7-10 days.

  • Schedule your life-saving donation today. All participants receive a parking pass and special gift.

    Call 410-550-0289 for more information.

After streaming religious services online for a year, Baltimore faith leaders want to know what COVID-19 protocols to follow during in-person services. This inspired a collaboration among houses of worship, Baltimore City and Johns Hopkins to help advise religious leaders about how to safely return to on-site worship. The medical-religious partnership began a pilot program phase July 21 at the Muslim Community Cultural Center and at Israel Baptist Church, which is just northeast of The Johns Hopkins Hospital.
