Pride Month is about showing up for each other. Blood donation is too.

Patients who need blood come from every background, identity, and walk of life. Building a strong blood supply for the patients who rely upon it means creating a donation experience where more people feel welcomed, respected, and encouraged to step forward.

Updated donor eligibility guidance now uses individual risk assessments regardless of gender or sexual orientation, allowing more people to save lives while maintaining the safety of the blood supply.

Only about 3% of eligible people donate blood. More donors can mean more lives supported when patients need it most.

One blood type gets called first when seconds matter.

Terry donates Type O blood, and in emergencies, that can make all the difference.

When there isn’t time to determine a patient’s blood type, hospitals often rely on Type O blood to help trauma patients, accident victims, and others in critical situations. That’s why Type O is consistently in high demand and why keeping a steady supply matters every day.

If you’re Type O, your donation plays a unique role in helping hospitals stay ready. And if you’re not Type O, patients still depend on you. Every blood type has a purpose and every donation helps keep care moving.

Learn more about the role of Type O and schedule your donation: vitalant.org/BloodTypes

Ally and Sasha are turning awareness into action.

They’re speaking up about the constant need for blood donation and the patients who depend on it every day, from cancer and trauma care to sickle cell disease, and support for babies and mothers.

Advocacy isn’t just about donating. It’s about using your voice to educate, encourage and bring others with you.

He was 66 years old when someone finally called him out.

“You’re donating today, aren’t you?”

Dennis had spent decades avoiding blood donation, even as an O negative donor surrounded by family members who donated and volunteered. He thought it would be intimidating. Easier to put off.
One conversation changed that.

Now 76, Dennis has spent nearly a decade rolling up his sleeve regularly, progressing from whole blood to Power Red donations to help patients facing serious medical needs. What once felt intimidating became one of the most meaningful commitments in his life.

His message is simple: “It’s never too late to start.”

That first donation can turn into years of impact for patients counting on blood donors every day.

Make a commitment to saving lives.

Some people wait to be asked to help. Sharon built her routine around it.

From helping at community events to coordinating blood drives and working with local high schools, Sharon volunteers her time to help make sure patients have the blood they need when it matters most.

“People should volunteer with Vitalant, as it is one of the most impactful ways to give back to the community, providing the support necessary to ensure lifesaving blood products reach patients in need.”

Not everyone can donate blood every day. But volunteering is another powerful way to move this mission forward and support the people counting on it.

Vitalant blood donors and patients know the importance of selfless acts.

On Memorial Day, we remember the people whose selfless acts became their ultimate sacrifice. Today, we pause, reflect, and honor the memories of those who gave their lives for our nation.

Take time to honor their sacrifice and be a hero in your own way by donating blood and help ensure patients can get the lifesaving care they need.

Blood donation is not a one-time need for Brooke and Ary. It is routine medical care every 3 weeks.

They live with beta thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder where the body cannot produce enough healthy hemoglobin. Without that, oxygen does not move through the body effectively, which is why many patients depend on regular blood transfusions as a core part of treatment.

For people living with beta thalassemia, transfusions are not occasional support; they are ongoing, scheduled treatment that replaces what their bodies cannot make on their own.

Brooke and Ary also recently participated in a walk supporting thalassemia patients and families, helping bring visibility to a condition that requires consistent, lifesaving care.
