Ways to Help

We Are Blood has drawn Central Texans together since 1951 to provide and protect the community blood supply. Help us inspire people to donate locally and to take pride in this precious shared resource. Together, we can make sure all Central Texans will continue to have access to life-saving blood when they need it.
