• Strengthen your soul in a world that often feels overwhelming

Community Center Blood Drive

Donating blood is a selfless act by one person to help save the lives of others. Blood cannot be manufactured. Whether you’re a regular or first-time donor, visiting one of CBC’s donor centers or community blood drives is a powerful way to make a difference. Your donation will help cancer patients, mothers with pregnancy complications, accident and trauma victims, and more. If you are healthy and able to donate blood, please consider participating in this upcoming blood drive.
