As per the divine words of his Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj “Blood is to flow in veins and not in drains” every year the Sant Nirankari Mission organizes blood drive all over the world. The Sant Nirankari Missions branch of Ann Arbor/Detroit organized a blood drive with the collaboration of the American Red Cross at the Sant Nirankari Bhavan in Westland on Sunday May 9th.

Saints anxiously started to gather at the Bhavan as early as 8:00 am and the blood drive was not to begin until 9:00 am. There was much enthusiasm by all saints to donate blood. Around 47 saints signed up for the blood donation. The mix of saints donating blood spanned all age groups and many saints became donors for the very first time. Those saints who were not able to donate blood were enthusiastically providing refreshments and conducting other Sewa towards the saints donating blood.

In total 26 units of blood were donated since many saints could not donate due to travel to restricted areas. The American Red Cross was very appreciative and amazed to see the discipline and enthusiasm of all saints.
