The Southern Region is one of 35 American Red Cross blood regions in the United States. We are committed to fulfilling the humanitarian mission of providing the safest possible blood components for every patient who must have a life-saving transfusion and to maintaining a blood supply sufficient for any emergency, no matter how great the need. Our blood supply must be constantly replenished - lives depend upon it. Because there is no substitute for human blood, thousands of donations from voluntary donors are needed each week.
Blood can be given at one of nearly 120 blood drives sponsored by business and community groups in Georgia, northeastern Florida and southeastern South Carolina every week, or at one of 15 community donor centers. The Southern region is led by an experienced management team, but our lifesaving work would not be possible without the volunteers, volunteer blood donors, and caring people in the community who organize and sponsor blood drives. The American Red Cross is a national, nonprofit organization, supplying approximately half of the nation’s blood.
