SNHU Red Cross Blood Drive - Manchester, NH

An SNHU Global Days of Service Official Project

Event details: Friday, April 11, 2025 | 10 am-3:30 pm | SNHU Dining Center Banquet Hall (2521 North River Road, Manchester, NH 03106)

Learn more: Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. It's essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses and traumatic injuries. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation. One donation has the potential to save three lives. Supplies are critically low right now and the medical community is urging healthy, eligible donors to consider giving blood.

Thank you to the many SNHU community members who made appointments; 57 units of blood were collected and donated to the American Red Cross.

Additional Locations for Local Donations

When you consider where to donate blood, keep in mind the value of donating locally. While many of these organizations do have local donation centers available, there are often smaller organizations that are just as much in need.

• Contact local hospitals to find out if they accept blood donations directly.
• Some doctor's offices and facilities take blood donations.
• Local churches and community centers often sponsor blood drives for local organizations in need of donations.
• Local government offices can also provide information on available donation sites.

In addition to these resources, also consider viewing websites like BloodBanker.com where you can join a community of people working together to increase blood donation awareness. You can also use the website's tools to help you to find local organizations collecting and in need of donations.
