RI Blood Center

A Westerly completed his 50TH appointment at the @RIBloodCenter Recently, he’s been donating platelets- rare for someone so young. ‘It makes me feel like I’ve made at least some type of a difference whether it’s someone my age or 50 years old that I’m helping” 🥹❤️ @ 530 @NBC10

We’ve all heard (or said!) some creative excuses for not donating blood 🚩🚩 The truth is, most people can donate and just don’t realize how easy and meaningful it really is. Take a look at our brand new campaign, designed to change the way people think about blood donation!

250 Donations. 31 Gallons. One Incredible Lifesaver. ❤️ Last week, we celebrated an extraordinary milestone — Timothy made his 250th blood donation! Timothy's commitment is nothing short of heroic. For decades, he’s helped give patients, and their family, a second chance.
