Top 11 Tips for a Successful Blood Drive

One of MOBLZ’ founders has been a blood coordinator for many blood drives across multiple companies and multiple organizations. Blood Drives have become part of the MOBLZ culture, a regular part of our service offerings. In coordinating over 35 blood drives, we’ve helped collect over 1000 units of blood. The Red Cross correlates giving one unit of blood to saving three lives, so our blood drives really make a difference! January is National Blood Donor Month, so with that in mind we've put together some tips to help you run a successful blood drive on your properties. It’s an easy thing to do, with a HUGE impact.

And with COVID, many of us have put on enough weight that our clothes aren’t fitting quite right. So, how can you as a property manager, help tenants with that?
