Your Blood Donation Saves Lives

Wackford Community and Aquatic Complex 9014 Bruceville Road, Elk Grove
Driven by iHeart Media Sacramento and Knight Elk Grove Subaru, show you care and donate blood. The summer season is especially critical for blood donation because the need for blood never takes a break and never takes a vacation. Blood donors are needed every day in every season.
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. This could be a little girl in the ICU or a mother with Stage 3 leukemia. If you’re worried about needles, don’t be—most blood donors compare the experience to a mild, split-second pinch! The entire process is very safe and very fast, and you will feel amazing knowing you potentially saved up to three people.
Make an Appointment
All donors receive a FREE ticket to the California State Fair.
Donors also receive a $10 gift card through Vitalant Rewards (must be opted in) and are automatically entered into a Summer Gas Giveaway to have a chance to win one of five $5,000 prepaid gift cards.
If you're in good health and meet the general eligibility criteria, then you are likely able to give blood. Even if you’ve donated before, you may have specific questions about eligibility if you recently got a tattoo, traveled abroad or take certain medications. If you were told previously that you were disqualified from donating blood you might be able to now. Recent changes now allow over 60% of the population to give blood.
Drink plenty of water, eat well, and bring a photo ID.
Because of you, life doesn't stop.

I believe the idea that my blood could help save a life is so amazing. Even though I am not a trained medical professional, I can still make a positive impact on others.
