Give Blood

You can change a life, starting with your own. When you donate blood through the Red Cross, you help provide the more than 38,000 pints of blood needed for patients at hospitals across the nation each day. The Red Cross’ national network allows us to send blood quickly to where it is needed. That means your blood donation could help loved ones in Illinois or across the country.

When you donate blood through the Red Cross, you join a family of blood donors across the nation in a lifesaving cause and participate in the rich tradition of one of the nation’s premier humanitarian organizations. The gratification you’ll feel when you donate is instant.
