Heroes in Action: Blood Services Volunteers Deliver Lifesaving Hope to Patients in Need

Blood Transportation Specialist – As a volunteer driver, you become a hero on wheels, delivering not just blood, but hope and life itself. Our user-friendly mobile app empowers you to seamlessly schedule shifts (both scheduled or on-demand), and make deliveries ensuring that blood, platelets, and other critical supplies get to hospitals swiftly. Every trip you make saves lives.
Blood Donor Ambassador – As a volunteer donor ambassador, you'll ensure blood donors have a positive experience from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave. Your kindness and professionalism during the blood drive will encourage ongoing donor support to ensure we have enough blood to meet the needs in your community. Every volunteer shift you take on makes a difference and helps save lives.
