Donate Blood and Fuel Your Summer!

Summer is in full swing and so is the need for more blood donations. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, often called the 100 Deadly Days of Summer, accidents and trauma-related injuries increase just as donations decline by roughly 20 percent nationwide.

When you successfully donate blood, you’ll be automatically entered to win a $1,000 gas card from Kelley Williamson. Every donation counts as a new entry, so the more you give, the more chances you have to win! If you’re an eligible donor, you can give every eight weeks.

Donate at any of the RRVBC donor centers, mobile blood drives, or community blood drives from now through September 4 for your chance to win and fuel your summer!

Walk-ins are always welcome, and appointments can be made by clicking the button below or calling 815-965-8751.

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!
