Help replenish the blood supply in the DC metro area! It’s safe, easy, confidential, and extremely rewarding. 

The EDCJCC partners with Inova Blood Services to bring skilled technicians and top-of-the-line equipment for our quarterly blood drives.

A few facts about donating blood:

- One blood donation can save four lives
- All donations stay in the Washington, DC area
- Every 17 seconds, someone in the DC area needs a blood donation
- One out of 10 people will need a donation before the age of 70
- The body quickly replaces the amount of blood given during the donation

For more information, please see the eligibility requirements for donating. Please plan on your blood donation to take about an hour from start to finish. Do you have any questions or need additional accommodations for this event? Please contact Mira at msmith@edcjcc.org.

Help us wrap hundreds of gifts that will go out to clients we serve on Christmas Day through our December 25th Day of Service. With your help, we can ensure that everyone receives something special and warm this holiday season!

No gift-wrapping skills required, since we use bags and stickers instead of traditional wrapping paper for most of our gifts. Children are welcome! Free to attend, but advance RSVP is required.

Please reach out to Mira at msmith@edcjcc.org with any questions. Thank you in advance for making our December 25th Day of Service even more special for those we serve!
