Winter weather is causing a decline in donations. With more severe weather predicted and growing need everywhere, all blood types—especially type O blood donors—are needed to prevent a shortage. Patients need your help now.
Become a life-saving partner with the Red Cross today. Your support directly helps ensure patients and hospitals have the blood they need, exactly when they need it.
By stepping forward – whether to donate blood, donate funds, or just get involved as a volunteer – you play a critical role in preventing and alleviating human suffering—and your action can mean the difference between life and loss for someone in need.
Join us in making an immediate, meaningful impact. Every contribution counts, and your decision to act saves lives.
