Sundry Foods Limited (SFL), in partnership with the Armed Forces Blood Centre, marked the 2025 World Blood Donor Day with an internal blood donation exercise at its corporate headquarters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The initiative, held over the weekend, drew participation from more than 100 staff volunteers across all departments, demonstrating the company’s commitment to saving lives and supporting public health.
Observed globally on June 14, World Blood Donor Day raises awareness about the need for safe blood and celebrates voluntary, unpaid donors for their vital role in healthcare systems.
Head of Marketing at SFL, Nduka Mokwunye, said the company’s initiative aligns with its corporate social responsibility (CSR), goals and the 2025 World Blood Donor Day theme, “Give blood, give hope: together we save lives.”
Executive Director of SFL, Nnamdi Opara, described the in-house drive as a modest but meaningful contribution to boosting blood bank supplies and raising awareness about the importance of donation.
“Saving lives is not just the responsibility of caregivers. At SFL, we value the health and well-being of our host communities and believe in playing our part,” he said.
Opara emphasized that regular blood donation is essential for medical emergencies, surgeries, and treatments, noting that hospitals rely on steady blood supplies to function effectively.
“SFL is constantly looking for ways to positively impact lives. Our CSR teams are dedicated to identifying opportunities that benefit our communities in meaningful ways,” he added.
Sundry Foods Limited is the parent company of Kilimanjaro, one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing quick-service restaurant brands.
Since its inception in 2004, the company has prioritized the health and well-being of its host communities through various social initiatives.
