What #TacoTuesday + donating blood have in common

Taco Tuesday-Donating Blood

What’s your favorite kind of taco? We like ours filled with pico de gallo, crema + the satisfaction of having done a good deed.

That may sound cheesy, but think about it: How good did you feel the last time you did something to help others? We live in a city with no shortage of opportunities to volunteer + organizations to donate to. But what if you’re short on time, or money, or both? Enter: The Blood Connection (TBC). Between their Asheville Center + their mobile drives (for which you can search by location + date), TBC makes it easy to donate blood and, as a result, save lives.

So why are we talking about tacos? This summer, The Blood Connection is celebrating #TacoTuesday every Tuesday, now through August 27. Donate blood at any TBC center or mobile drive on a Tuesday this summer and receive a free $10 gift card for tacos + a fun t-shirt (pictured above, saying “If you don’t love tacos, I’m nacho type”).

Eat a taco, save a life. We can get behind that. Click below to find where to donate on an upcoming #TacoTuesday. 🌮

Que, so – let’s schedule your lifesaving donation
