Interested in donating blood? Read this guide to find your local blood drive.
Blood is in critically high demand due to a persisting national shortage. We rounded up local blood drives happening in Riverside where appointment slots are currently available for the remainder of February and March.
You may have heard: Blood is in dangerously low supply and demands for the life-sustaining substance are only rising.
To alleviate this national shortage, the American Red Cross Blood Services and LifeStream Blood Bank are urging the public to make appointments with local blood drives to help increase donations. On behalf of the American Red Cross, those who donate in February can receive a complimentary $10 Amazon gift card and a $10 Fanatics gift card for donations made in March.
Read our guide below to find an upcoming blood drive in Riverside near you. To make your appointment visit American Red Cross or LifeStream.
