When Colbert needed four units of lifesaving blood, he and Estrella felt the power of donors firsthand. Now, they come and give back by donating themselves. 💙

Estrella put it best, "It’s not scary… just a few minutes of your time can touch a lot of people."

And in case you were curious, Oreos and Cheez-Its were their post-donation snacks of choice! 🧀🍪

This Veterans Day, we’re honoring donors like Josh— a regular platelet donor who learned he’ll be deployed early this month. Before leaving home to serve our country, Josh made one last lifesaving donation: a triple platelet to help patients in need.

Thank you, Josh, for your dedication both on the front lines and in the donor chair. Our team is keeping you, and all who serve, in our thoughts today. ❤️

Young people often want to give back but feel like they don’t have the time, money, or resources to make an impact. The truth is — you already have what it takes!

🩸 Donating blood is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to help others.
It costs nothing, takes about an hour, and can save up to three lives with every donation.

Why does Andrea give? "I try to donate pretty regularly. I'm O-negative and know there's a huge need."

O-negative is often called the universal blood type because it can be given to anyone in an emergency when there’s no time to check blood type. As a special thank you to our O-negative donors, we're giving away a cozy knit scarf now until December 31st. Make sure to register first! ncbb.org/lifesaver/

Donors and team members are bringing lots of *spirit* to our donor centers!

Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves (or shark fins) to help save lives. The need for blood doesn’t take a holiday, and that’s why giving during times like Halloween is so important. Hospitals still rely on a steady supply of blood to help patients every single day — and your donation makes that possible!
