Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Please join us in making a difference by participating in the next week’s blood drive, hosted in collaboration with the American Red Cross! Appointments are encouraged and appreciated. Together, we can make a positive impact and contribute to the health and wellness of those in need.

The Red Cross reports that about 20% of the blood used in the U.S. is donated by students and one donation can save up to three lives. By donating, you’re not only helping save lives but also supporting the wellbeing of our community.
