OverviewThe District of Columbia government is dedicated

to the health and wellness of District employees and residents. The supply of safe blood can save the lives of

those in need of blood transfusions. Donations of blood can improve the health of those who are battling chronic

diseases, those who experience surgical complications, or those who are severely affected by natural disasters

and accidents. To support this effort, the Office of the Attorney General, AFGE Local 1403, the Department of

Human Resources (DCHR), and the American Red Cross will host a blood drive. The District government is authorizing

administrative leave for those employees who donate blood.
