Free Juice at Mother’s Market/Hoag Blood Drive
08.29.17
Mother’s Market & Kitchen’s Costa Mesa store is partnering with Hoag Blood Donor Services to host a blood drive on Thursday, August 31, from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
In appreciation, Mother’s will provide all donors with a coupon for a free 8 oz. fresh juice of choice from Mother’s popular juice bar.
Blood donations will be used to support Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach.
According to Hoag Blood Donor Services, summer is always a challenging time for blood centers, due to donors taking vacations and schools being out of session. Despite the season, the need for blood remains constant and patients continue to depend on the generosity of blood donors to meet that need.
The blood drive will take place in Mother’s parking lot at 1890 Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa.
