COVID-19 and Blood Donation

Giving blood is safe and essential

Blood is a critical component of emergency preparedness because it’s perishable and the supply must be constantly replenished.

The demand is constant.

Local hospitals rely on volunteer blood donors to give regularly. It's an easy way to help save lives.
