Donna used to avoid donating blood, but after learning about the process and the benefits of giving, she realized her impact would be lifesaving.

Inspired by a close friend who was a firefighter and first responder, she started donating two years ago and hasn’t looked back. 💪❤️

What do cookies have to do with blood types? 👀 More than you think.

O Negative = the “plain cookie” that works for everyone. And that’s exactly why it’s in such high demand.

Only 7% of people have it, but it can help 100% of patients in emergencies: https://t.co/MICZBzfbBz

Do good. Feel good. 🩸❤️ There’s nothing quite like the feeling of knowing you helped save a life.

Whether you're an early morning donor or late night lifesaver, blood donation is a simple act that makes a powerful impact.

After receiving lifesaving transfusions during leukemia and lymphoma treatment, Jeff recently donated again for the first time in nearly 10 years following a successful transplant and remission.

He says, "it is better to give than receive.” Schedule a donation near you! 🩸

“I was way overdue for a blood donation, so when the blood center called last night, I said SIGN ME UP!”

That’s what we love to hear! Patients are counting on donors every day — and showing up for just one hour truly saves lives.

⚠️ We are critically low on platelets and patients can't wait.

Right now, we're offering a $20 gift card to donors who come give platelets through Sunday, April 26.

👉 Registration is required: https://t.co/5VHcwUdXRw

[RI Blood Center @RIBloodCenter]

⚠️ We need to be honest — we’re at just 82% of the platelets needed for patients right now.

That 18% gap means cancer patients and others could face delayed care.

If you’re eligible, now is the time: https://t.co/jumy4TWCxD
