“Donating blood is such an easy way to support your neighbors. There are so many ways to help, from donating blood to organizing the event to serving cookies and juice.”
— Sally, blood drive coordinator

 
 

How to Host a Blood Drive

We all need inspiration to find the power to do our part. As a blood drive coordinator, you will encourage blood donors in your area to join you and work toward a common goal. If you just want to be part of something that helps people, or if you have a specific desire to honor the memory of a loved one, the time to act is now.

Coming Together as a Community

Every one of us is essential to moving the world forward. Vitalant needs to collect as many as 5,500 blood donations every day to meet patient needs, so this is an opportunity to transform your life and the lives of so many others. Join a team of passionate volunteers to ensure a steady blood supply for patients throughout the country. If you can inspire and empower others to act on their urge to help—where they can, when they can and as much as they can—this is an amazing way to pay it forward.

 
 

On-Site Blood Drives

On-site blood drives can be held almost anywhere, from churches and businesses to recreation centers, libraries and clubhouses.

We have a few basic requirements:

  • We ask for a minimum of 30 people to participate.
  • You must have either an inside location that meets specific requirements for staff and equipment or an outside location suitable for a bloodmobile.
  • You will need to raise awareness of the blood drive, educate donors about the constant need for blood, and be passionate, persistent and dedicated.
