Did you know?!
- 25% of the U.S. blood supply is given to patients during cancer treatments– that is more than patients fighting any other disease.
- Donated blood products keep their organs functioning, provide strength and help them feel better.
- In fact, five units of blood are needed every minute to help someone going through cancer treatment.

Our blood supply was critically low, and the need for blood never stops. Thanks to our amazing community and sponsors like Lost Coast Brewery, we’re able to keep helping local patients in need.

We had 12 generous donors come out and collected 11 units of lifesaving blood! Every donation makes a real difference.

Huge thanks to Marcus at Lost Coast Brewery for hosting the drive and offering donors a fun “pint for a pint” incentive. 🍺 Your support helps save lives!

It might come as a surprise to many that 25% of the U.S. blood supply is given to patients during cancer treatments– that is more than patients fighting any other disease. Donated blood products keep their organs functioning, provide strength, and help them feel better. In fact, five units of blood are needed every minute to help someone going through cancer treatments.

Thank you, Bill Gillespie, for donating! You and your 0+ blood are greatly appreciated!

Our 0+ blood supply is low due to an increase in local use. We are asking anyone with an 0 blood type to donate at this time. We say both 0+ and 0– because most people have O+ blood, which makes it the most frequently used and needed type. O- blood, while rarer, is the universal donor, meaning it can be given to anyone in emergencies when there’s no time to determine a patient’s blood type. Blood banks need a constant supply of blood because it is needed daily for emergencies, planned surgeries, and chronic illnesses. Your donation can make a life-saving difference today.

Please visit our website at nccbb.org for our blood center hours and bloodmobile schedule.

Attention O's please donate! The blood center is open from 8am - 6pm today. The bloodmobile will be at Sutter Coast Hospital in Crescent City from 11am - 4pm and Safeway in McKinleyville from 12pm - 6pm today. Please visit our website at nccbb.org or call 707-443-8004 for blood center hours and our bloodmobile schedule.

The Northern California Community Blood Bank is critically low on O+ blood, and we need your help! This vital blood type is essential for many medical treatments and emergencies, and your donation can make a life-saving difference.

If you or someone you know has O+ blood, please consider donating today. It's a simple way to give back to the community and ensure that patients in need receive the care they deserve.

For more info, visit us at nccbb.org or call 707-443-8004.

The future of our blood supply depends on our youth. Thank you College of the Redwoods for allowing us to park in your quad and give students like Dylyn the access on campus to donate.

Dylyn shared that he secured a special gift from the Northern California Community Blood Bank as a thanks for donating a total of 6 pints over the years and assisting in the outreach for this event.

Last Friday, Jason honored his friend and former boss, David Lindberg, by donating blood in his memory. David, a coworker at LACO Associates, was not only a mentor but also a devoted blood and platelet donor, giving over 56 gallons in his lifetime.

Jason’s donation keeps David’s legacy alive and serves as a reminder that anyone can make a difference. Honor someone special—or give back—by donating blood and saving lives.
