Your donation is important and makes a difference:
Only 38% of Americans are eligible to give blood, and of those only 8% do. That amounts to only about 3 out of every 100 people. Your donation can help save up to three lives.

About the Red Cross:
The Red Cross is the nation’s largest blood provider, and supplies more than 120 hospitals and heath care facilities throughout the state.
