Your blood donation could help save accident victims, cancer patients, individuals living with sickle cell disease, and so many others counting on lifesaving blood every day.
The need for blood is constant. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Make an appointment to give blood or platelets by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
