During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the vibrant heritage and significant contributions Hispanic communities have made to our country and to the Red Cross. We are grateful to celebrate our diversity and honor the multicultural identities that make up our home here in North Texas.
Below are just a few of the stories highlighting our Hispanic blood donors, partners, volunteers and employees who make our lifesaving mission possible.

Las donaciones de sangre de las comunidades latinas e hispanas son vitales para ayudar a satisfacer las necesidades de los pacientes en todo el país. Cada dos segundos, alguien en los Estados Unidos necesita sangre.
Casi el 60% de los latinos tienen sangre tipo O, un tipo de sangre crucial en situaciones de emergencia y que, con demasiada frecuencia, escasea. Más de una cuarta parte de todos los productos sanguíneos transfundidos cada año se utilizan en cuidados intensivos y situaciones de emergencia.
Nuestra sangre es nuestro superpoder, y una donación puede salvar más de una vida.
Use su superpoder y programe una donación de sangre hoy mismo en redcrossblood.org/español.
