About Blood

Every day, there are people who count on blood to be available to help save lives: accident victims, premature babies, people undergoing cancer treatment, organ recipients, and many others. You can make a difference in your community by helping to ensure that blood is available to people in need.

Patients depend on volunteer donors to give blood and hospitals rely on the American Red Cross to collect specific blood types to treat patients. Despite advances in medical science, there is still only one source for blood; donors like you.
