Proclamation
Donate Life Month
April 2026
Whereas, For over 35 years, Donor Network West, the federally designated organ procurement organization for Northern California and Northern Nevada, has been working to save and heal lives through organ and tissue donation for transplantation and research; and Whereas, In 2025 Donor Network West coordinated 1,269 organ transplantations, each one saving a life. Despite our progress, we continue to face a critical shortage of organ donors and the number of people in need of a transplant remains high; and Whereas, Nationwide, there are more than 100,000 people waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant. In California, there are more than 20,000 people waiting to get that life-saving call and a second chance at life; and Whereas, Anyone can be an organ donor by registering at your local DMV or visiting the Donor Network West website. On behalf of Donor Network West, I’d like thank the City of Manteca for their continued support for organ and tissue donation and for joining us in observing National Donate Life Month; and Now, Therefore, I, Gary Singh, Mayor of the City of Manteca, on behalf of City Council, do recognize April as Donate Life Month.
DATE: April 21, 2026
