Winter Blood Drive

Donating blood is such an impactful hour. Helping someone in desperate need of a blood transfusion is easy and Vitalant is in urgent need of every blood type. Blood donations are used in several ways, including: cancer treatment, emergency situations, and for those suffering from various blood diseases. All of these cases are those that can affect our friends and loved ones. During this time of the year, blood donations typically decrease due to holidays, school breaks, and flu season. However, patients are still in need and relying on YOU for support.
The Winter Blood Drive will be taking place on January 22 - 23 at the Quad from 10 AM to 5 PM. All participants will receive a free T-shirt after donating- along with the key difference you all make in helping save lives! If you donate blood, it will count for one hour of community service. If you would like to volunteer for the Blood Drive, you can sign up here. You get one hour of CS through evidence of blood donation.
