National Donor Sabbath

Myth:

My religion doesn’t support organ and tissue donation.

Fact:

Most major religions support organ and tissue donation. Typically, religions view organ and tissue donation as acts of charity and goodwill. Donor Alliance urges you to discuss organ and tissue donation with your spiritual advisor if you have concerns on this issue.

National Donor Sabbath, November 14-16, 2014:

American Transplant Foundation volunteers visited Mile Hi Church near Denver, CO. We talked with the congregation members and did outreach to raise awareness for organ donation, especially living organ donation. One member of their congregation happens to be the first ever altruistic living organ donor in the state of Colorado! He helped us organize this event. Thank you to Mile Hi Church.
