Host a Mobile Blood Drive in San Antonio

Hosting a blood drive provides an easy and enduring way for you and your organization to give back to the community—and to save lives. University Hospital and the Women's & Children's Hospital rely on community donations to be able to perform patient procedures. All donations collected by our team go directly to our patients.

Why Host a Blood Drive?

Hosting a blood drive provides an easy way for you and your organization to give back.

• In 2023, we transfused 27,000 units of blood. That’s an average of 74 per day. We must have more than that available daily to account for events we cannot predict.
• The hospital relies on you and the rest of the San Antonio community to donate the blood needed to perform patient procedures.
• All donations collected by our team goes directly to our patients.
• You get the chance to help us save lives.

We can help facilitate a blood donation drive in San Antonio at your business, church, college or other organization. We don’t currently host blood drives at high schools. By donating on behalf of a specific inpatient to replace blood inventory at University Health, your organization can earn a financial credit toward the patient’s hospital bill.

We Are Your Partners

Blood drives are a partnership, and Blood Donor Services will be with you every step of the way as you provide this life-saving service to your community.

A designated point of contact will help organize, advertise and facilitate your blood drive. We will provide advertising information before the blood drive, so you can get the word out to your organization. We will also help you plan the best time and location for the event.
