Greer CPW to host community blood drives supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities

June 2, 2026

Greer Commission of Public Works (Greer CPW) will host a community blood drive Thursday, June 4 in Greer and Saturday, June 6 in Landrum encouraging residents to help save lives while supporting families in need.

These drives are part of the organization’s ongoing partnership with The Blood Connection, which hosts quarterly donation events at the office. These drives carry added significance and hope to pay it forward following an employee’s child who was born with a heart condition in December 2025. 

“We want to do our part to support staff and their families,” said Alison Rauch, Public Information Coordinator. “Our hope is that we can be a blessing to the next patient who needs blood during surgery.”

In addition to helping meet critical blood supply needs, the event will also benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities Charleston. For every 30 donors who participate, The Blood Connection will make a financial contribution to the nonprofit, which provides housing and support for families with children undergoing medical treatment. Community members are encouraged to donate and make a meaningful impact – both by helping patients in need of blood and by supporting families during challenging times. As a thank you, blood donors will receive $30 in eGift cards from The Blood Connection.
