A blood drive is one of the best ways we know to inspire our community to donate locally and take pride in this precious shared resource that bonds us together. When Central Texans need blood, We Are Blood is there to make sure they receive it. But we need 200 donations a day to ensure the local need is met.
By hosting a blood drive, you are doing your part to ensure life-saving blood is available. If you want to to get a group together and donate blood, the options are limitless. We promise to make it easy.
On a Bus
If you’ve got a big group, not a lot of space, and a passion for doing something great for your community–well, we’ve got a plan. Our blood donation buses are a great way for you to host a group blood drive in a self-contained environment. You schedule a day, we come to you, and the rest is taken care of. We bring everything we need to you, park outside, and all you need to do is supply the people.
Inside Your Building
An easy way to host a blood drive if you have some extra space. Our staff brings all the supplies, and you bring all of the people!
Inside Our Building
You can even host a blood drive inside one of our three brick and mortar donation centers. These drives are great if you have a smaller group or can’t meet the logistical requirements for a bus or inside set up drive.
