PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Lions Club successfully concluded its Holiday Blood Donation Drive on Saturday, December 13, at the Parsippany Main Library, bringing together residents, volunteers, and community partners in a shared effort to help save lives during the holiday season.
Held in collaboration with the American Red Cross and the Parsippany Library, the drive drew an inspiring turnout from Parsippany and surrounding communities. Donors generously gave their time and support, reinforcing the true meaning of the season through an act of service that has an immediate and lasting impact.
Every two seconds, someone in the United States requires blood. A single donation can help trauma victims, cancer patients, and infants in critical care. This year’s holiday drive once again underscored the vital role community involvement plays in meeting that ongoing need.
“We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming support from our community,” said Pratap Jayakar, Vice District Governor and LEO Chair, Lions Clubs International, Northern New Jersey. “The success of this drive reflects the shared commitment of our partners, volunteers, and donors. Together, we reaffirmed that every act of service—big or small—keeps the spirit of humanity alive and thriving.”
With Christmas and Hanukkah approaching, the event carried a festive and welcoming atmosphere, highlighting themes of gratitude, unity, and giving. Donors and volunteers alike embraced the holiday spirit, turning the blood drive into a meaningful celebration of community service.
The Parsippany Lions Club expressed sincere appreciation to its partners and sponsors for their support in making the event a success.
