Due to the current lockdown situation in Boston, the Kraft Family Blood Center has had to cancel tomorrows blood drive. They are physically unable to retrieve the blood mobile and all staff is on needed for current situation.

We will notify everyone of a new date once we get one. Please share this with friends, as we don't want anyone to show up unnecessarily.

We apologize for any inconvenience and hope all our blood donors will reschedule with us.

Thank you again for your support of our family, and for Dana Farber/Brigham and Women's Hospital. We hope your family and loved ones remain safe. Please take the time that you would have spent with us tomorrow with your loved ones.
