There are many ways to help.

Whole Blood: It's safe.  It's simple.  And, in about 45 minutes you can save up to three three lives.  (The actual donation takes only 5-10 minutes.  The additional time is for a health history screening, a mini-physical, and refreshments following donation.) High School Students please review this important information before donating.

Donate Platelets: Give platelets through apheresis and help cancer patients, accident victims, surgery patients, and others who need this particular blood component.

Register to Donate Bone Marrow: Give someone a second chance for life if you match a patient needing a marrow transplant.

Make a date to donate at one of our donation centers.

Schedule a blood drive: Make a group effort to save lives through your place of work, place of worship, high school, community college, university, or community group.

Volunteer: Give your time and talent to support a lifesaving effort.
