Who Will You Help by Donating Blood?

There’s no substitute for blood. When a patient that is in need receives blood, it was given in advance by a generous donor just like you. Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation.

Monticello Blood Drive

The American Red Cross is asking those who feel healthy to make it a summer full of life by donating blood. Your donation will ensure that blood is available for patients who rely on lifesaving transfusions.
With vacations, outdoor activities and school breaks, summer is a challenging time to collect enough blood donations to meet the needs of patients. The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
