Treat Someone to More Tomorrows.
Pumpkin season is here, and there’s no better time to carve out an hour to save up to three lives! While jack-o’-lanterns light up the neighborhood, let your kindness glow too.
Plus, from now through October 30, every blood donation includes a FREE A1C test. It’s a treat for your health, with no tricks and a simple way to check your blood sugar and catch potential risk early.
Find your perfect patch! Donate at any RRVBC donor center, mobile blood drive, or community blood drive near you.
Why do people give blood?
Because they like to help others – and because giving feels amazing. In busy, complicated times, giving blood is an easy, meaningful way to make a difference. In fact, this simple gift can enhance the lives of up to three people. Giving blood only takes about one relaxing hour, and we – and your body – do all of the work. Remember, blood is a gift – straight from the heart. Your heart. Please share it today!
