Our goal is to reach 55 donors, and thanks to your efforts in spreading the word, we’ve already scheduled 37 appointments. Let’s keep the momentum going and surpass our previous achievement of collecting 37 units during our September drive!

Blood donations are critically needed, especially for Black and Brown communities, where specific blood types like Type O, A-, or B- are in high demand. Your donation can make a significant impact this season.
