Big thanks to all our gallon donors, and everyone who've made it their goal this year to give at least one more time in 2025! Cause if everyone gave just ONE more time each year, we'd likely never have a blood shortage! Today (Monday, 7/14) we're celebrating gallon donors at our West Bank Donor Center till 7 pm.
Come out and join us (there's cake 😉). Be sure to "Like" this post so donors like these two multi gallon donors know your appreciation. Together, they've given over 55 gallons!!! Big thanks to Charlotte & Ray for all you do to support our local patients.

Thank you for joining us this weekend to raise awareness for the ongoing need for blood and blood components. Patient's like Hezi rely on our donors every day. With summer shortages and increasing storm threats this Hurricane Season, all blood types are encouraged to give. Visit TheBloodCenter.org to learn more.

If everyone who donated once this year gave ONE more time, we would likely never face a blood shortage🩸
