💚Thank the Donor💚

"Thanks so much for helping my mom!! She is a mom, grandmother, and great grandmother who really needed what you so generously gave! Sending you so much love and gratitude."❤️❤️❤️

In the United States, blood products that are transfused to hospital patients must be from an unpaid volunteer blood donor. There is no substitute for your donation - each and every time you give you make a difference.🫶

❤️It's amazing how much we can accomplish together, when it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.

Whole communities join together for a common goal, and give so generously to save lives. Amazing events like the Tyler Wilcox Memorial Guns n' Hoses Blood Drive in Pierre, SD, or Beth Olsen Ades Annual Re-Birthday Blood Drive in Webster City, IA, are great examples of uniting together, to make a positive impact.

🩸Donate blood today, and know you're giving back to the community.

💚Thank the Donor

"My wife has been battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has needed numerous units of blood. I want to thank for your donation that will help my wife keep fighting!"

The National Cancer Institute says acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). Treatment of ALL includes antibiotics and red blood cell and platelet transfusions.

We are so appreciative of our donors. With the help of each and every one of them, we are able to supply blood and blood products to patients in need.😊
