The blood drive helped save over 171 lives
SAN DIEGO, Calif., (September 13, 2023) -- San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of Southern California’s largest locally-owned financial institutions, partnered with the San Diego Blood Bank to host a blood drive at five SDCCU locations, three in San Diego County, one in Riverside County and one in Orange County, collecting 57 units of much-needed blood, which will help save the lives of over 171 people.The blood drive was held during a challenging time of the year for the San Diego Blood Bank with less blood drives taking place during the summer vacation season. Blood donations continue to be critical, and the reduced number of donors has put additional strain on the already stretched on-hand supply.
“SDCCU was happy to once again partner with the San Diego Blood Bank to host a blood drive to close out the end of summer,” said Teresa Campbell, SDCCU president and CEO. “We are grateful to all those who came out and donated, as your support truly impacts the lives of those in our community.”
More than 30 hospitals rely on the San Diego Blood Bank every day. With a shelf life of just 42 days, the constant need for new donations is critical. To learn more about the San Diego Blood Bank or for more information on the blood drive, visit www.sandiegobloodbank.org.
