San Diego County Credit Union is hosting a blood drive on Jan. 9, at seven locations: six in San Diego County and one in Riverside County.

Historically, there is an extremely low inventory of blood during the busy holiday season and hospital shelves have a constant need, potentially affecting thousands of patients. The community is encouraged to help. Every pint of blood can save up to three people – lives depend on it.

Register today as the San Diego Blood Bank will be at the following SDCCU locations on Thursday, January 9, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We encourage the public to donate, especially because each donation can save up to three lives,” said SDCCU President and CEO Teresa Campbell. “We are pleased to continue our decades-long partnership with the San Diego Blood Bank to help meet the needs of our community.”

SDCCU has supported the San Diego Blood Bank for more than 20 years. Blood donations are especially critical at this time of year after a busy holiday season, and this year continues to be especially challenging.
