Where to Donate

The need for blood is great--on any given day, approximately 39,000 units of Red Blood Cells are needed. Accident victims, people undergoing surgery, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer, or other diseases, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia, all utilize blood. More than 29 million units of blood components are transfused every year. If you would like to donate blood, please use the locator below.

As a patient and recipient of a blood transfusion, it is important that you receive the highest standard of care and the safest blood possible. The AABB's mission is to protect patients and the nation's blood supply. The AABB sets standards for blood banks and transfusion services, and accredits member blood banks and transfusion services that meet these high standards. If you would like to donate blood, be sure to consider an AABB-accredited hospital.

Blood Banks, Blood Centers or Transfusion Services should contact Angela Buscemi at angela@aabb.org, if you would like to make changes in the locator information
