Once again, Pikesville’s Chizuk Amuno Congregation hosted the Howard W. Brill Memorial Blood Drive, the nation’s largest Jewish institution-sponsored blood drive.
More than 100 donors participated in the Jan. 15 event, which is held six times a year at Chizuk Amuno and saves up to 1,800 lives annually.
The most recent drive marked the first time Chizuk Amuno partnered with Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency services system, through American Friends of Magen David Adom, along with Blood Centers of America and its regional affiliate, Blood Bank of Delmarva.
The blood collected will be used to help those in need locally. If Israel suffers due to war or another unforeseen emergency, Blood Centers of America will send blood to Israel.
