Giving blood is a straightforward process that has a big impact. It takes about an hour of your time from start to finish, and a single donation can help multiple patients being treated for everything from burns to cancer. Learn more about the process of donating blood here.

If you can’t give blood, there are other ways to lend a hand. Recruit donors, bring snacks to the drive, or volunteer with registration and refreshments. For more information, contact Jillian.Daws@redcross.org.
