Voyage Home Loans is Saving Lives in July

Voyage and BloodSource are having a blood drive in July.

Sacramento, CA, July 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Voyage Home Loans strives to make a difference in its community through various charitable endeavors each month and in July, their focus is to help save lives. On Thursday, July 8, Voyage will be hosting a blood drive with BloodSource, a northern and central California blood bank, at Voyage’s headquarters in Sacramento.

Voyage is also participating in “Pint for a Pint,” a program in which all donors will receive a coupon for a free pint of Baskin-Robbin’s ice cream. According to BloodSource, one pint of blood can save three lives. So far, about 40 people from both Voyage and local businesses will be donating on Thursday, which equates to 120 lives saved. The blood drive is open to the public on Thursday and to anyone who is eligible to donate.

“Voyage is doing great in helping us to make sure to collect enough blood,” said Ashley Rebholtz, BloodSource spokesperson. She also said that summer is a great time to collect blood consistently because accidents are higher and about one in seven hospital patients need blood.

For Voyage employees, giving blood has a different meaning.

“Being able to give something we take for granted when others need it so much is a great honor,” said Josh Harmatz, CEO of Voyage. “We recently had an employee who needed blood after an accident so it is great for all of us to be able to give back.”
