American Red Cross Blood Drives 
at Johns Hopkins University

PLEASE GIVE BLOOD

The Greater Chesapeake and Potomac Region of the American Red Cross is urging all eligible donors to "Be the One We Count On" by scheduling a blood donation appointment this spring.

There is no substitute for human blood, and the need for blood does not take a vacation. It is the responsibility of the community to maintain a safe and adequate blood supply. It is only with your help that we are able to save lives each day. Thank you.

Find the nearest Hopkins drive and schedule an appointment .
