Donating is safe, easy, and all blood is screened for pathogens. Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. is in need of blood, and many blood drives have been cancelled resulting in substantial drop-off in available blood, posing a threat to so many. Please consider helping our community by donating blood.

Please make an appointment to donate blood now by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
