Habit Burger & Grill and OneBlood to host September drives at Upstate locations

The Big Red Bus is rolling back to Habit Burger & Grill locations across southeast Florida this September, inviting community members to give the gift of life. Habit Burger & Grill will host blood drives September 2–5, offering donors a simple way to make a life-saving difference.

As summer ends and routines shift with back-to-school season, we encourage anyone who is eligible to donate blood to get on the Big Red Bus. Every donation helps ensure patients, from accident victims to those undergoing surgery or cancer treatment, will have the blood needed for transfusions.

“We’re proud to partner with OneBlood on this vital initiative,” said Jack Hinchliffe, Chief Marketing Officer at Habit Burger & Grill. “Together, we’re inviting community members to make a lifesaving blood donation at their local Habit Burger & Grill and help support patients in need throughout the region.”

Blood donors who donate on the Big Red Bus at the Habit Burger & Grill blood drives receive a t-shirt, a free Charburger, a $20 eGift card and a free wellness checkup.
