The fifth annual Boston Muslims for Life blood drive will be held Wednesday at Boston City Hall.
It’s been five years since the Boston Marathon bombings, and a local group continues to host a blood drive in honor of those affected.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Boston Chapter will host its fifth annual “Muslims for Life” blood drive at Boston City Hall on Wednesday, April 18.
This drive is part of the national Muslims for Life campaign, which the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community began in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
On the tenth anniversary of that tragedy, the community kicked off a national campaign to honor those victims and to “emphasize Islam’s essential teaching regarding the sanctity of life,” according to their website.
