American Red Cross Blood Drive

It may be chilly outside, but when you donate blood, you help warm someone's heart.  We invite you to brave the cold this season and join us at the Penn State University Great Valley American Red Cross blood drive. 

We encourage everyone who is healthy and able to please give blood and help save lives. The actual blood donation typically takes less than 10-12 minutes. The entire process, from the time you arrive to the time you leave, takes about an hour and 15 min.

Just know that:
Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
More than 38,000 blood donations are needed every day.
One donation can help save the lives of up to three people.

The drive will be running on Monday, January 20th from 9AM-3PM in Rooms 126/127 on Penn State's campus. 

Appointments are preferred. For an appointment please contact: Christina Conboy at 215-451-4353
