Blood Drive December 5th, 2025

Here are some of the top reasons why these blood drives are so important:

🩸 Lives Depend on It Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood—whether it's an accident victim, a cancer patient, or someone undergoing surgery.

🏥 A Critical Supply Chain The Red Cross provides about 40% of the nation’s blood supply, serving approximately 2,500 hospitals and healthcare facilities.

💉 Daily Demand Is High To meet patient needs, the Red Cross must collect around 12,500 blood donations and 3,000 platelet donations every single day.

👥 We Need More Donors Although 62% of Americans are eligible to donate blood, only about 3% do.

❤️ One Donation Can Save Multiple Lives A single blood donation can help save more than one life—your impact multiplies every time you give.

AND the American Red Cross is teaming up with the legendary

PAC-MAN to celebrate 45 years of gaming and to invite donors to make an impact! Those who come to give blood, platelets or AB Elite plasma Nov. 17-Dec. 7, 2025, will receive an exclusive pair of Red Cross x PAC-MAN socks, while supplies last.
