Give Good
To support the needs of patients during the critical winter holiday season, we’ve created the Give Good campaign. Each year, we partner with community organizations to double the impact of each blood donation. Patients and their families will benefit from blood donations, and others in our community that need support will get help, too. In this way, each donation goes even further. This year's community partner is Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley.
Get Involved
For each donor who visits, a donation will be made towards building a house for a local family! Donate blood at one of our centers or mobiles to participate. We also have a gift for donors –a handy tape measure with level and note pad. The winter 2015 Give Good campaign runs Monday, 12/21/15 – Sunday, 1/10/16.
Have an Impact
Your donation will help build a home for a local family. For each donor to visit, Stanford Blood Center will make a donation towards materials needed to help build a San Jose home. Your blood donation will help support patients and their families, while supporting housing for a San Jose family.
