Find a Blood Drive
STOCKTON, Calif. (June 18, 2019) — Univision 19, Three Amigos Auto Center and the American Red Cross are partnering to host the annual Dia de Donar Sangre Blood Drive, the largest Red Cross blood drive in the region. The drive will take place Friday, June 21, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton and the Three Amigos Auto Center in Modesto.
“The Dia de Donar Sangre Blood Drive is a great opportunity to make a difference and help save lives,” said Kerry Morris, Red Cross Donor Recruitment account manager, Northern California Blood Services Region. “Kids battling cancer, accident victims and new moms with complications during childbirth may all need lifesaving blood at any minute. The blood collected at this drive will ensure that lifesaving blood products are available for patients when and where they are needed.”
This blood drive comes as the Red Cross is urging individuals to help ensure blood is never missing from hospital shelves by donating blood through the Missing Types campaign. Despite blood’s lifesaving role, only 3 out of 100 people in the U.S. give blood each year. The goal of Missing Types is to inspire new and current blood donors to give this summer and help fill the missing types.
As a thank-you, all who come to donate will receive a commemorative Red Cross T-shirt and complimentary food, while supplies last.
