For more than 20 years, the Munnich family has gathered around the holidays to donate blood and give a gift that truly matters. What started as a family tradition has become a powerful example of giving back during a time when donations are historically low.

Fallon first donated during the holiday season in December 2002, when she was a 17-year-old high school student. She transitioned to #platelets 15 years ago at the Christiana Donor Center after learning how critical platelets are for pediatric cancer patients.

⏰ You have until this Friday to donate blood and choose your thank-you gift: a beanie or a pair of our “Lifesaver” socks!

The need for blood is urgent. Holiday travel, winter illnesses, and the New Year slowdown mean donations drop when patients still rely on every unit.

Team members Tracy and Gabby are twinning for a great cause! When you join us to donate blood before January 2, you’ll get your choice of a cozy beanie or a pair of lifesaver socks as our thank-you.

Supplies are low, the need is high, and every donation makes a difference.

Santa’s helpers are hard at work this week! Not only did these two friends bring big smiles to our donor center, they also gave a gift that truly matters: lifesaving blood for patients in need.

Donors like these remind us that a little kindness can go a long way.

Laura learned the importance of giving blood by watching her father lead by example. Together, Laura and her dad have donated enough blood to help more than 300 patients, proving that one family’s commitment can make an incredible impact. ❤️

Platelets are essential for patients. They help blood clot, prevent dangerous bleeding, and often mean the difference between crisis and recovery.

But there’s a challenge: platelets have a shelf life of only 5–7 days, so we rely on dedicated donors to keep our supply strong.
