This summer, let’s soak up the sun and save lives! We invite you to make a difference and help save lives by donating blood. As a special thank you, donors who give blood from June 1-30, 2023, will receive a limited-edition beach towel to enjoy during their summer adventures. 

Donors who have traveled or lived in the United Kingdom, France, or Ireland can now donate blood and help save lives! Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center has removed deferrals for anyone who has lived or traveled to Europe following new guidance by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One hour of your time changes everything for patients, families, and communities. It takes one hour to give blood. And one blood donation saves many lives. There are 168 hours a week. Taking one of those hours to donate blood can change someone's world.
