Every day there is somebody in need of blood. Every day there is a family emergency. Patients need someone like you, a person willing to take the time out of their day to encourage others to donate blood. Our blood drives are a critical part of Vitalant’s lifesaving mission, which has a direct impact on patients such as these recent recipients.
