Give Blood. Get to Know Your Health.
More than 1 in 5 adults with diabetes don’t know they have it. From now through September 30, every blood donation includes a FREE A1C test, giving you a simple, no-extra-effort way to check your average blood sugar and catch potential risk early.
Plus, each blood donation can save up to three lives! And because you can donate every 8 weeks, you have the potential to save almost 20 lives each year.
Donate at any RRVBC donor center, mobile blood drive, or community blood drive near you.
Walk-ins are always welcome. Ready to schedule? Book your appointment below or call 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!
