Giving on Tuesday for #GivingTuesday
Madera, CA November 25, 2019 - Madera Community Hospital encourages the
community to join in Giving Tuesday activities.
Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2019, is the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving,
Black Friday and Cyber Monday. “The holidays can be tough for those
who are sick or injured, those who are hungry and those who are alone,”
said Karen Paolinelli, Chief Executive Officer, Madera Community Hospital.
“Giving Tuesday gives our team an opportunity to demonstrate their
compassion outside of our Hospital and Clinics.”
Launching the season of giving, Madera Community Hospital invites you to
join our Physicians and Employees in Giving Tuesday activities with our
Hospital and Clinics.

The Second Annual Madera Evening Lions Club Giving Tuesday Blood Drive
is scheduled from
1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. in the Madera Community Hospital Annex Building
– Shebelut and Perini Rooms. Each month, Madera Community Hospital
provides an average of 100 pints of blood for patients needing transfusions.
Last year, the Lions Club Giving Tuesday Blood Drive contributed nearly
40 pints of blood to the Central California Blood Bank.
- In addition to the blood drive, Madera Community Hospital and Clinics are
collecting non-perishable food and toiletry items. The items collected
will be given to food distribution organizations in Madera, Chowchilla
and Mendota. Collection bins will be located in the Madera Community Hospital
Main Lobby and at Family Health Services and Chowchilla Medical Center.
