Community Blood Center is looking to connect with organizations willing to support our local healthcare system through blood donation.
There are many reasons to host blood drives.
Donating blood together:
- Increases team morale
- Adding to your organization’s philanthropic efforts
- Raises spirits
- Provides a sense of pride
- Encourages friendly competition
- Providing life-saving blood to patients in our local hospitals
Community Blood Center is the primary supplier of blood and blood products in the Greater Kansas City area and must collect nearly 600 units of life-saving blood products each day in order to support hospitals such as University of Kansas Health System, Children’s Mercy, Saint Luke’s Hospitals and many more. Support from businesses, schools and community groups make a direct and meaningful difference to the blood supply and our ability to meet patient needs and hospital demand.
Hosting a blood drive is easy.

You will have a dedicated Blood Center representative to help schedule appointments and keep track of the lives you save. - Online support
