“We help our friends, we help our neighbors. We help everybody. This is giving a piece of yourself to somebody that you’re never gonna know who it is or what it is, but it’s a special kind of giving.”

Congratulations to Topeka donor Craig M. on his 800th blood donation! ❤️🩸

“I’ve set a goal for 2026 to become an All Seasons donor by donating once each season—winter, spring, summer, and fall. I think it’s important to lead by example when encouraging others.."

As our region recovers from the snow and ice storm, patients still rely on a stable blood supply for lifesaving care.

Weather disruptions led to the loss of 500 donations, and we need to make it back quickly. If you’re able, please donate this week.

While Nick was serving in Afghanistan, he saw firsthand just how critical blood can be.

“Once I found out I had O negative [blood], I thought it was important. You never know who you’re helping,” he says.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us that “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” This MLK Day, honor his legacy through an act of service that saves lives. Donating blood is a simple way to make a powerful impact in your community.

Be a lifesaver.

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.

⏰ 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.

Thank the Donor gives blood recipients the ability to write messages of thanks and gratitude to blood donors. Today, our donors got the chance to read a few ❤️

The US relies entirely on volunteer donors for our blood supply, yet only about 3% of eligible Americans give.

Today, we’re asking you to help add to that 3%. Giving blood is a powerful way to make an impact. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/470672/blood-donation-how-to-history-giving-tuesday

When Colbert needed four units of lifesaving blood, he and Estrella felt the power of donors firsthand. Now, they come to to give back by donating themselves. 💙

Estrella put it best: "It’s not scary… just a few minutes of your time can touch a lot of people."

"...I got bitten by the blood donation bug. I’m doing an altruistic donation (in) mid-December. I’m so excited to do it."

We’re inspired by actor Jesse Eisenberg, who recently shared his plans to donate a kidney to a stranger in need.
EXCLUSIVE: Jesse Eisenberg Reveals He Is Donating a Kidney to a Stranger: 'A No-Brainer'
The "Now You See Me: Now You Don't" star shared the news of his upcoming altruistic kidney donation on TODAY.
