Join Carolina Donor Services, November 15-17 to celebrate National Donor Sabbath. It’s a time for people of all faiths to honor those who have given the lifesaving gift of organ, eye and tissue donation. Every year during this special time, donation and transplant organizations work closely with communities of faith to bring the lifesaving message of donation to congregations across the country.
According to Dawn Hall, Director of Communications at Carolina Donor Services, “by registering to be an organ, eye and tissue donor, individuals can provide hope to the more than 120,000 men, women and children across the United States currently awaiting organ transplants and the hundreds of thousands more in need of cornea and tissue transplants.”
In North Carolina, nearly 3,500 people are currently waiting for an organ transplant, and nationally, more than 120,000 people are on the organ waiting list. Register to be an organ, eye and tissue donor.
