join the 13th month movement

Host a Blood Drive During 13th Month, Dec. 14, 2025 – Jan. 4, 2026.

Some timeframes of the year are so important they deserve to have their own month! 

The winter months bring several challenges for the blood supply. On average, 4,000 fewer donations are given in December and January due to the holidays, inclement weather and cold and flu season. For this reason, Vitalant has carved out Dec. 14 – Jan. 4 as the 13th Month of the year, to shine light upon the critical need for blood and blood drives.

Blood drive coordinators are a solution to the challenge of an ample blood supply for patients through the holiday season. You become light for patients facing a dark time. Join us in safeguarding patient needs this winter and get a special thank you!

Blood drive coordinators are VITAL to ensuring patients have the blood they need. Join us in safeguarding patient needs this winter and get a special thank you!
