Sacramento, Calif.—Sacramento refinance and purchase mortgage provider, Voyage Home Loans, is hosting their second annual “Pint for Pint” blood drive with BloodSource, a northern and central California blood bank, at Voyage’s Sacramento headquarters July 18.

According to BloodSource, one pint of blood can save three lives and a teaspoon of blood can save a baby’s life. The summer months present a greater need because accidents are higher and about one in seven hospitals need blood on a consistent basis.

Bloodsource’s Blood Mobile will be parked at Voyage’s Placer Lane headquarters from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. All donors will receive a coupon for a free pint of Baskin-Robbin’s ice cream as participants of the“Pint for a Pint” program.

The blood drive is open to the public and those eligible to donate on July 18th. For more information or to schedule a drop-in time for the blood drive, contact Katrina Silberstein at
