Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.

Patients need someone like you, a person willing to take a mere hour out of their day to perform the ultimate good deed by donating blood. Today they will be collecting blood donations at the Black Hills State University in Rapid City from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

All healthy donors are urged to donate now; if you’ve had COVID-19 more than 10 days ago and your symptoms are resolving, you are eligible to donate. Whatever your COVID-19 vaccination status, you are ABSOLUTELY allowed to give blood or platelets.
