The American Red Cross is dedicated to saving lives, easing suffering and restoring hope at home and around the world. The Red Cross provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply to patients in 3,000 hospitals nationwide. In Alabama, the Red Cross has supplied blood to Alabama hospitals for nearly 53 years. Locally, the Red Cross supplies blood to over 100 hospitals in Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. To meet blood needs in our region, the Red Cross must collect approximately 850 units of blood a day from volunteer blood donors. Eligible blood donors are encouraged to donate every 56 days.
