The New England Organ Bank and NorthEast Organ Procurement Organization and Tissue Bank are looking for volunteers to help staff their exhibit which provides information on organ and tissue donation for transplantation. It's a wonderful way to get the word out to the public about how successful organ and tissue transplantation is. They need volunteers. Sign up for a 3-hour shift and enjoy the rest of the day at the fair with the free day pass you receive for volunteering. Volunteers hand out information and help people sign donor cards if they want to.
Several volunteers are scheduled together, so no one is alone.
If you know someone who would like to volunteer with you, that'd be great. She's waiting to hear from you. Marcia's corner by Marcia Bujan As of June 30, UNOS lists over 46,000 patients waiting for transplants. Although some patients are listed at more than one transplant center, the numbers are still staggering. All of the recent positive media coverage may help boost the donor pools so that the gap between donors and candidates will start to shrink.
