Your blood is going to someone who really needs it. To get it there is a process. It takes a team; our phlebotomists collect the blood, our couriers bring it to our headquarters for processing, our lab techs process it, and our couriers then deliver the products to our hospitals. Once they’re there, lives are saved.

During the month of February, we are asking our customers in all Mast Store locations to round up their purchases to the next dollar to make a donation to our local food security partners. Over the course of last year, we your spare change has made a big impact. A few cents here and there resulted in donations totaling more than $50,000 to help our partners put food on our neighbors’ tables in 2020.

The Mast Store supports many causes throughout the year, but one of the most important ones to us is human needs. Of those needs, food is a basic building block. Without food, you can’t do well in school, perform your job, or take care of those you love.

This February, we invite you to share the love with a donation to one of the food security agencies we support … or one in your hometown. The need is great, but the reward is greater. Any amount will make an impact – imagine, what you might spend on a cup of coffee ($3) could provide nine meals or more for someone in need.
