The Jewish community blood donor council of Columbus
| Join us for the next community blood drives: or December 28, 2009 at the Jewish Community Center |

We need your help! The demand for blood is ever increasing… Please come donate at our next drive. If you last gave on or before October 7th, you are eligible to donate at this drive. |
Who We Are
To Life Columbus! (TLC), formerly the Jewish Community Blood Donor Council of Columbus, is comprised of dozens of individual volunteers from Columbus’s Jewish community. We do not officially represent any institutions, but our affiliations are as diverse as our backgrounds. TLC volunteers affiliate with Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, and Reconstructionist congregations as well as a variety of Jewish schools, agencies, and community centers. Some of us volunteer because blood donations have saved our lives or the lives of our loved ones. Others help out because of our commitment to the Jewish community and to all residents of central Ohio.
We have no paid staff or office; rather the Columbus Jewish Foundation maintains our budget and serves as our official address.
Though we work with Jewish institutions, many of our regular donors are not Jewish. Regardless of your background, we welcome your participation as a donor or volunteer!
What
We Do
We work with the American Red Cross to help organize a
series of blood drives each year. Our role is to secure a date and location
for each drive, recruit donors, and coordinate the volunteer force at each
drive. The Red Cross helps us identify eligible donors and provides the
nursing staff who screen individuals and collect blood.
In a typical year, we hold four blood drives (March, June, September, and December) at the Jewish Community Center, and support additional drives around the Jewish community. You can view our schedule to find where and when is most convenient for you.
