Summer is one of the hardest times of the year to maintain our community's blood supply.

Families are traveling. Kids are out of school. Routines change.

The need for blood doesn't.

At our last Little Elm Rotary Club Blood Drive, our community donated 19 units of blood—enough to potentially help nearly 60 patients. That's a reminder of what can happen when ordinary people decide to spend an hour helping someone they'll likely never meet.

Now we're looking ahead to our next drive.

If you've donated before, thank you. We'd love to see you again.

If you've never donated, this is a great opportunity to start. The process is simple, and your donation could make all the difference for someone facing surgery, trauma, cancer treatment, or another medical emergency.

Morning appointments tend to fill quickly. If you're planning to stop by without an appointment, the best time is after 10:30 AM.
