Blood Drive January 29th, 2026

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 Share your whole heart with patients in need this winter! For many patients receiving urgent medical care, the need for blood doesn’t stop for winter activities or inclement weather.
