The strength of America’s blood supply depends on the active involvement of people who voluntarily donate blood to meet demands in their community and around the country.
Every day, patients with cancer, leukemia, heart disease, sickle cell anemia and other serious illnesses may need blood transfusions to survive, as well as accident or trauma victims.
Times of natural or man-made disasters can also escalate the demand for blood, or contribute to blood shortages in impacted areas of our country.
The Red Cross meets the blood needs of your community, then sends blood to areas of need, including those affected by storms, accidents or exceptional medical demand.
Your ability to help is as easy as rolling up your sleeve at your next blood drive.
You can also contribute greatly to the welfare of others by organizing or working at a blood drive at your school or in your community.
You can give blood every 56 days. Blood donors must be 17 or older, weigh a least 110 pounds, be in good general health.
Please give blood. Tell others about the need for blood, too.
