national blood donor month

Host a Blood Drive During National Blood Donor Month, Jan. 5 – 31, 2026.

The winter months bring several challenges for the blood supply. Fewer donations are given in January due to the holidays, inclement weather and cold and flu season. For this reason and to encourage new donors to start giving, January was established as National Blood Donor Month in 1969. Blood drive coordinators serve a VITAL role in ensuring patients have the blood they need and in encouraging new and existing donors to donate.

Join us in safeguarding patient needs this January and get a special thank you!
