Thank you for being a blood donor! ❤️

"My wife and I have been whole blood donors for many years. Upon relocating to Jacksonville FL two years ago, we learned of the opportunity to donate platelets and all the good it provides. The first year, I tried to donate both whole blood and platelets. However, it wasn’t long until my levels became too low to donate either. So, at the beginning of this calendar year, we decided that my wife would continue donating whole blood every two months, and I would donate platelets every two weeks. For some seven months now, this has worked extremely well. So grateful to contribute!"

🩸💪 Saving lives, one pint at a time!

Our Chief Commercial Lending Officer, Joe B., has been donating blood since the 1990s—first with Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank and now through the American Red Cross.

Why does he do it? To help others and conquer his fear of needles. “It is such an easy process, takes less than one hour to complete and is a life-saving measure to assist many other individuals. The Red Cross staff makes it an enjoyable, pain free experience,” Joe says. “I love watching my blood journey through the Red Cross blood donor app to see the lives impacted by a single donation.”

This , follow Joe’s lead—donate blood, save lives and be a hero!
