Help save lives this June by signing up to donate blood! We are currently facing a critical need for blood donors as donations have fallen significantly behind hospital needs in recent weeks. As summer trauma season begins, hospitals often see an increase in serious injuries from car accidents, sports injuries, and other emergencies. In severe trauma cases, a single patient can require up to 100 units of blood. As a thank you, all donors who give June 1–28 will receive a $15 e-gift card of choice and be entered for a chance to win one of two $7,500 Visa gift cards! Appointments encouraged; walk-ins welcome. If you are able, please consider donating. Patients are counting on us.

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.

Thank you for supporting the American Red Cross blood program!

Download the Red Cross Blood Donor App on the App Store, Google Play or text BLOODAPP to 90999. Schedule appointments, view your blood type and results of your mini-physical, and track your donations.
