Host a Winter Blood Drive

Winter Blood Drives Save Lives

Holiday travel, winter weather, seasonal illnesses and busy year-end schedules often result in fewer blood donations during the winter months. However, patient needs don't take a holiday. Hospitals rely on blood donations every day to help accident victims, cancer patients, surgical patients and others in need of lifesaving transfusions.

You can help strengthen the blood supply this winter by hosting a blood drive in your community, workplace, school or organization.
