At various participating fire departments in Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino Counties.
 To make an appointment to donate, click on the drive name below at which you would like to donate. 

The Bucket Brigade Challenge, now in its 16th season, is a friendly competition among participating fire departments in Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino counites to see which department can host the largest blood drive by enlisting firefighters, friends, family and the community to donate lifesaving blood during the holiday season. All donors receive a Bucket Brigade T-shirt!  While supplies last. 

The most common blood components transfused to patients are red cells. When you give a Power Red (also called double red) donation, you double the impact of your donation because you are giving two units of red cells.  A Power Red donation doubles your impact for patients with chronic blood disorders or facing trauma surgeries.  Find our more here.
