Donating Blood is Safe and an Essential Service for our Communities

The FDA and blood center organizations come together to encourage blood donations, assuring people that donating blood is absolutely safe and direly needed.

“It is safe to donate blood. Part of preparedness includes a robust blood supply. Healthy individuals should schedule an appointment today to ensure that blood is available for patients who need it.”
