Eastern Door Blood Drive Returns to Kahnawake Today
Written by Paul Graif on 8 November 2022
The Eastern Door is hosting its annual blood donor clinic today (Tuesday). It is being held at the Mohawk Bingo on Route 138 from 9:30 am to 7:30 pm. They are seeking 120 donors this year. They are recommending that you book your appointment through Hema-Quebec. You can call 1-800-343-7264 or do it on-line at: hema-quebec.qc.ca.
Steve Bonspiel is the Owner/Publisher of the Eastern Door. He says the blood drive began in 1996. It’s back for the first time since before the pandemic.
“It’s been quite awhile and the thing is with these kinds of things you just keep going. When the pandemic hit, we knew we’d be off for a little while. But we knew that we had to get back on the horse because it’s so important and saves so many lives,” Bonspiel told K1037 News. “If any body has ever had a blood transfusion or any kind of thing that requires blood, so many illnesses out there, then you’ve dealt with Hema Quebec. You’ve needed this blood so please we encourage anybody because you never know when you or a loved one are going top need help.”
