The need for blood has been steadily increasing since last summer.  South Texas now uses an average of 600 units a day in life-saving and life-enhancing procedures.  Every 2 seconds someone needs blood. Spring into action and donate! 

Please take an hour of your time to help save lives by donating at these upcoming blood drives in your community:

Before donating, each donor receives a mini-physical, consisting of a blood pressure and iron level check, temperature and pulse evaluation. Following the donation, donors will receive information in the mail regarding their blood type and overall cholesterol level.

Donors must present identification. Anyone 17 years of age weighing at least 110 pounds and in good general health may donate blood.  Donors should eat before and after their donation and drink plenty of fluids. Fasting is not recommended.
