Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. When a patient receives blood, it is given by a generous donor in advance. Despite the constant need, over the past four years, the number of new and returning Red Cross blood donors has declined by about 80,000 each year.

To make the donation process fast and efficient, you must schedule a time to make your donation.
