May is Mental Health Awareness Month! It can be hard to find a volunteer event that doesn’t ask all of us to go back to what seems like our daily grind. And yet, this is a month that not only recognizes what our work is in service of, but rejuvenates the life-force of those of us on the literal and metaphorical frontlines of a mental health crisis. That’s why we kindly ask you to join us for a blood drive so that we might partner in serving all of our clients, peers, and community in need.
Location: 2304 Park Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55404 (St. Mary's University - Alumni Room)
Date: Saturday, May 10th
Time: 9am-3pm
Who: Any MFT/MFT Student, MFT Superfan, Mental Health Advocate/Supporter

(St. Mary’s Location only, see below for remote options)
Remote option!
While this event has a particular time, date, and location, if you are unable to attend, we hope that you will consider an alternative time to donate anytime during the month of May: https://www.redcrossblood.org/
Disclosure:
We recognize that the Red Cross does not accept all individuals as “qualified” donors, and appreciate that others might be unable to donate for various other reasons. If you are looking for an alternative way to volunteer, give back to our community, please feel free to reach out directly to elections@mamft.net
Want a bonus incentive to join us on site?
While MAMFT and Red Cross volunteers will be circulating on-site (with snacks!), we have designated a representative to stay on-site throughout the drive to answer member questions (like what we’re doing with pay parity or the conference), get member feedback, or, if you’re a student: you can ask anything about the profession (whether you’re a member or not)!
This event’s representative will be our Treasurer, Tessa Gittleman. If you have any questions about this event or MAMFT more generally, you are welcome to reach out to her at: treasurer@mamft.net.
We hope to see you there!
