McDonald’s Malaysia urges the public to donate blood to help top up supply at the National Blood Bank.
The quick service restaurant organized its annual Blood Donation Day on June 30, 2022, in collaboration with the National Blood Centre under the Ministry of Health. The blood donation drive was opened to the public.
“Our goal in hosting the annual blood donation drive is to raise awareness among the communities on the importance of blood donation, in supporting NBC’s cause to help patients in need.
”The collaboration between McDonald’s Malaysia and NBC is in line with the government’s call for more blood donations to top up the stock stored in our national blood bank.
“Here at McDonald’s, we have always been an advocate for the public to continuously donate blood, and we are glad that we are able to organize another blood donation drive this year after one year of being unable to do so. I am proud to see the promising turnout for the Blood Donation Day this year,” said McDonald’s Malaysia managing director and local operating partner Dato’ Azmir Jaafar.
The Blood Donation Day, held at the headquarters of McDonald’s Malaysia, saw a turnout of more than 200 donors this year.
Donors who showed up consist of McDonald’s employees, business partners, customers and members of the media.
As a token of appreciation, McDonald’s Malaysia provided McChicken meals and sundae cones to all blood donors who turned up to give blood.
