ORKIN PARTNERS WITH THE RED CROSS
Our Why
The Red Cross works tirelessly every day to supply 40% of the nation’s blood supply, collecting roughly 13,000 blood donations to meet the needs of patients across the country. Since 2020 in accordance with mosquito season, Orkin has provided monetary donations to the Red Cross in addition to encouraging the public to donate blood to the organization.
Our goal is two-fold: to help boost our country’s blood supply while protecting people against the public health threats of mosquitoes.
Blood Donation
Donate Blood to The Red Cross
Once again, Orkin again invited the public to donate blood to the Red Cross through two hosted blood drives in Los Angeles and Atlanta (two cities with high ranks on our 2022 Mosquito Cities List) and through our SleevesUp campaign.
Between both blood drives, Orkin collected 59 units of life-saving blood, which will directly impact the lives of up to 177 patients as they battle cancer, receive a transfusion for a blood disorder or undergo surgery. Overall, we had 19 first-time donors to the Red Cross. Additionally, through our SleevesUp campaign, an additional 52 people pledged to donate blood, which will impact the lives of 156 patients – totaling our impact of life-saving blood to 333 patients.
