If you cannot make it to the blood drives at KPRC 2’s studios or HCU, you can donate at your Neighborhood Donor Center. There’s a critical need for blood donations in our community, especially with donations typically slowing down over the summer months. Your support now is critical in helping patients in the Greater Houston area.
Do you know your blood type? If not, you’ll find out when you donate blood. According to the Gulf Coast Blood, blood type O- is considered to be the universal red cell donor for all patients. To learn more, visit Gulf Coast Blood’s website at giveblood.org. Gulf Coast Blood is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The KPRC 2 Community Blood Drive is one of our spotlight initiatives in partnership with Energy Transfer and Houston Christian University. KPRC 2 would like to thank our partners at Energy Transfer for hosting a blood drive for their employees in May, too!
