THW Freisen celebrates 60 years and calls for a life -saving blood donation!

The THW local association Freisen launched a remarkable initiative on February 10, 2025 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the association and at the same time make an important contribution to the blood donation. Under the motto "THW forces donate blue blood", the association calls the citizens to actively participate in the blood donation. This action aims to raise awareness of the significant role of civil and disaster protection and to promote social engagement.

Around 20 members of the THW Freisen, including numerous first donors, have already donated blood. The chairman of the DRK local association Freisen, Arndt Eisenhut, emphasizes the urgency of the blood donation, since around 15,000 blood pans are needed every day in Germany. "The challenges due to the limited durability of the blood of blood require regular donations," said Eisenhut. The campaign will continue during the anniversary year to continue to collect donations in the future.

blood donation dates and the role of the DRK

Since the first blood donation in Freisen in 1983, a total of 8,025 donors have donated around 4,012.5 liters of blood. Particular donors such as Udo Beck and Eberhard Klemm, who donated for the 40th time, and Hansi Wolfgang Nöll, who made his tenth donation, must be particularly emphasized. These committed personalities are highlighted at an honor in the DRK home.

The BZGA has called on the population to find out about the various donation services and make appointments. A blood donation is possible from the age of 18, and older donors can also donate under medical supervision. Interestingly, it is repeatedly emphasized that a donation after a vaccination against the Coronavirus is possible without endangering the enforcement success.

The positive results of the blood donation campaigns in Freisen and the increasing participation of citizens indicate that social responsibility in the region is taken seriously. With further planned donation dates in the coming months, the THW local association Freisen will set a sign of hope and solidarity.
