Donate Blood

There is a need for blood each and every day of the year. By giving blood now, you are making sure this precious gift is on-hand for the patients who need your help to survive an accident or illness. We all depend on this perishable resource. Blood is an emergency medicine and must always be readily available.

Join A Community Blood Council

Blood councils work within a particular community to assist chapters with planning blood drives.  Community members meet monthly to help identify potential sites for drives, recruit donors and volunteers for drives, and assist with planning and facilitation of blood drives within their community.  Presently, there are councils in the Back Mountain and Mountain Top.  If you are interested in starting a community blood council in your community, call or e-mail Phoretta Hoover HooverP@usa.redcross.org today at 823-7161 ext. 340.
