2009 Donor Sabbath -- Ways that YOU can help!

National Donor Sabbath is observed two weekends before Thanksgiving each year as members of faith communities focus on the life-affirming gifts of hope passed to others by organ, eye, tissue, marrow and blood donors. Many faith leaders participate in services and programs to educate their congregations about donation and transplantation and the critical need for donors.

This year, GSDS will be calling on all of our friends with connections to Churches, Temples and Synagogues to assist us in outreach opportunities. Our past efforts have indicated it takes a significant relationship with religious or spiritual leadership to gain access for Donor Sabbath outreach. These events will occur primarily in November, but can be scheduled year round.

Donor Sabbath outreach may take a number of forms:
  • having a speaker at services,
  • information in a bulletin,
  • a donor drive after services,
  • showing a spiritual video on donation during or after services.
