The blood community has come together with one urgent message: patients need blood now.

As the nation braces for more severe winter weather, blood drives are being canceled, donor access is limited, and hospital needs continue to rise. Blood cannot be stockpiled — it must be continuously replenished.

If you’re eligible, please give now before the next storm hits. Lives depend on it: https://bit.ly/4qKFhAA🩸❄️

A major winter storm is moving across the U.S. in the coming days.

When winter weather hits, blood donations drop fast — not because the need goes away, but because blood drives cancel and donors can’t travel.

We just broke down what winter storms do to the nation’s blood supply — and why donating before bad weather hits matters.

If you’re healthy, this is your moment.

We have a 3% problem.

Only 3% of eligible Americans donate blood each year.

But here's the thing: 62% of the U.S. population IS eligible to donate. That's 204.9 MILLION potential donors.

The math is simple: If just 1% more Americans donated, shortages would virtually disappear.

This National Blood Donor Month, be part of the solution. Moving from 3% to 4% doesn't require a miracle—it requires YOU.
One donation takes about an hour. The impact lasts a lifetime.
