Memorial Blood Centers is one of the largest community-based, non-profit blood collection and distribution organizations in the United States. Donate blood and join us in saving lives!
For more than 20 years, the Munnich family has gathered around the holidays to donate blood and give a gift that truly matters. What started as a family tradition has become a powerful example of giving back during a time when donations are historically low.

⏰ You have until this Friday to donate blood and choose your thank-you gift: a beanie or a pair of our “Lifesaver” socks!

The need for blood is urgent. Holiday travel, winter illnesses, and the New Year slowdown mean donations drop when patients still rely on every unit.

Fallon first donated during the holiday season in December 2002, when she was a 17-year-old high school student. She transitioned to #platelets 15 years ago after learning how critical platelets are for pediatric cancer patients.

Santa’s helpers are hard at work this week! Not only did these two friends bring big smiles to our donor center, they also gave a gift that truly matters: lifesaving blood for patients in need.

Donors like these remind us that a little kindness can go a long way!

Platelets are essential for patients. They help blood clot, prevent dangerous bleeding, and often mean the difference between crisis and recovery.

But there’s a challenge: platelets have a shelf life of only 5–7 days, so we rely on dedicated donors to keep our supply strong.

Meet Madison, a 16-year-old junior and proud first-time donor who pushed past her fear to make a difference.

“My mom usually gives blood, and she says it’s a good deed,” Madison shared. “Once they put the needle in, it’s not that bad… and I’m scared of needles.”
