Spread Holiday Cheer and Save Lives — Join the Needham Blood Drive on December 7!

This holiday season, give a gift that can’t be wrapped —the gift of life! The 5th Masonic District invites everyone in the community to roll up their sleeves and make a difference at the
Needham Blood Drive on Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Masonic Hall, 1101 Highland Avenue, Needham, MA 02494.
While we’re decking the halls and checking off gift lists, hospitals across New England are working around the clock caring for patients who need life-saving blood. Every single donation can help save up to three lives — and there’s no better way to share the true spirit of the season!

“Giving blood is a simple act of kindness that has a huge impact,” said Stig Bergquist, Chair of the Blood Drive Committee. “This time of year reminds us how powerful it is to give from the heart — literally.
Join us, bring a friend, and help make the holidays brighter for someone in need.”
