On April 2, the County will launch its 40th annual blood drive and by taking just few minutes out of your day, you can help save a life. Donations of blood and platelets struggle to keep pace with hospital demand during the summer months, so now is a great time to boost those supplies. County employee Cecilia Trinidad never anticipated needing a blood transfusion herself… until disaster struck during a national skydiving competition.

You don’t have to wait for the County blood drive to donate. Visit the San Diego Blood Bank and schedule an appointment today.
