47 Years of Saving Lives. Let’s Keep It Going!
Every day, Mississippi Blood Services needs approximately 250 whole blood donations and 60 platelet donations to help meet hospital demand across the state.
Blood donations help patients undergoing cancer treatments, premature babies, trauma victims, mothers experiencing childbirth complications and individuals requiring lifesaving surgeries.
For 47 years, Mississippi donors have answered the call to help patients in need. As we celebrate this milestone, we want to thank every donor, volunteer, blood drive host and community partner who has helped make our mission possible.
The greatest anniversary gift you can give is the gift of life!
