As people of faith, it is in our blood to help. With a 15-minute blood donation, you can be part of a lifesaving journey that could save up to three lives.
The MCC community has saved nearly 375 lives! This is our 30th blood drive during Jumu’ah, and each has always been fully booked!
Let’s continue that trajectory at this blood drive and keep all our Stanford Blood Center (American Red Cross is unable to accommodate our Winter blood drive this year, but they will be at three other drives in 2025) guests busy when they set up in our Banquet Hall from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on a Friday.

A Power Red donation targets O-, O+, A-, and B—only. It takes 20-30 minutes because donors give two units of concentrated Red Blood Cells, and platelets and plasma are returned. Blood diversity is essential. Now more than ever, the American Red Cross needs the help of black blood donors.
Blood donors report feeling a sense of great satisfaction after making their blood donation. Why? Because helping others in need feels good.
If you have visited India, Pakistan, or another high-risk malaria country and returned within the last 12 months, you are not eligible to donate blood. See the latest travel-related restrictions to blood donation eligibility.
Every person who donates blood at MCC will receive a voucher for a free meal at iniBurger—Gourmet Burgers in Pleasanton. MCC congregation members Leeza and Abdullah Popal, who own these establishments, generously donate these vouchers to encourage community and congregation participation.
MCC Youth: If you are 16 to 18, here are the donor requirements and parental authorization form link.
