URGENT NEED FOR BLOOD DONORS

Make a Life-Saving Appointment Today!

The American Red Cross has a critical need for blood donations, and the City of Santa Clarita is urging residents to make a life-saving appointment today. An upcoming City blood drive is scheduled for Friday, May 19, from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at City Hall (23920 Valencia Boulevard) in the Carl Boyer Room. 

Residents may schedule an appointment and view other upcoming blood drives near them by visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-Red Cross. Interested blood donors must be at least 16-years-of-age and should be in good health. Upon signing in for your blood donation appointment, you will review all basic eligibility requirements and answer questions regarding your health history. The blood donation process from the time you arrive until the time you leave takes approximately one hour. Donors will receive a $10 electronic gift card to a merchant of their choice and will also have a chance to win a four night-trip­ for two people–including flight, hotel and more–to the 2023 MLB All-Star Game in Seattle! Terms do apply, please visit rcblood.org/team for more details.

Learn more about donating blood, review the eligibility requirements and to make your life-saving appointment today, visit RedCrossBlood.org.
