Blood drive held at seven SDCCU locations helped to save over 246 lives

SAN DIEGO (January 8, 2026) 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 New Year blood drive at seven SDCCU locations in San Diego and Riverside counties, collecting 82 units of much-needed blood, which will help save the lives of over 246 people.

The blood drive helped boost blood inventory during a challenging time of the year for the San Diego Blood Bank. Blood donations are critical at all times of the year, but especially after the busy holiday season.

“We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support from our community,” said Teresa Campbell, SDCCU president and CEO. “The generous donations collected will make a meaningful impact and help save lives throughout the region. We’re proud to continue our partnership with the San Diego Blood Bank and appreciate everyone who stepped up to give.”

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 sandiegobloodbank.org.
