Héma-Québec Blood Drive
June 19, 2025    
1:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Summer is a critical time for Héma-Québec.  While many of us enjoy a well-deserved break, the need for blood at hospitals never stops. Just one hour of your time can be life-changing for someone waiting for a transfusion. We're aiming to have 75 donors roll up their sleeves and help us reach our goal. Your generosity can make a real difference! Here are the details: LOCATION: Shawville Fair Grounds – Exhibition Hall ADDRESS: 215, rue Lang, Shawville DATE: Thursday, June 19, 2025 TIME: Between 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Héma-Québec recommends making an appointment beforehand to ensure a smooth process. You can book your slot here: https://www.hemaquebec.ca/.../societe-dagriculture-pontiac - L'été est une période cruciale pour Héma-Québec. Tandis que beaucoup d'entre nous profitent d'une pause bien méritée, les besoins en sang des hôpitaux ne s'arrêtent jamais. Une seule heure de votre temps peut changer des vies pour quelqu'un qui attend une transfusion. Voici les détails : LIEU : Shawville Fair Grounds – Exhibition Hall ADRESSE : 215, rue Lang, Shawville DATE : Jeudi 19 juin 2025 HEURE : Entre 13 h 30 et 19 h 30 Héma-Québec recommande de prendre rendez-vous à l'avance pour assurer un processus fluide.
