Rhode Island Blood Center
@ribloodcenter.bsky.social
Rhode Island Blood Center is one of the largest community-based, non-profit blood collection and distribution organizations in the United States. Schedule your appointment today and join us in saving lives!
⏰ 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.
