Roll up your sleeve and give the gift of life! The Florida blood supply is in critical need. All eight blood types are needed, but the blood bank’s supply of O+ and O- blood is especially low. Type O blood is the most common and highest in demand. 

Holy Cross Health will host a blood drive with OneBlood on Tuesday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at:

The OneBlood Bloodmobile

Phil Smith Neuroscience Institute at Holy Cross Health

4725 N Federal Highway

Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308

All donors will receive a $20 e-gift card, OneBlood water bottle and a wellness checkup that includes blood pressure, temperature, iron count, pulse and cholesterol screening. Refreshments will be provided. Donors must bring a valid ID with the person’s first and last name. 

Appointments are encouraged. Visit:  https://donorportal.oneblood.org/donate-now/donation-centers-list-select-time?driveID=1349525

Additionally, OneBlood recently launched a new program called Message My Donor. Recipients of blood donations are now given the option to send their donor an anonymous message to express their gratitude. Each donated unit of blood is delivered to local hospitals with Message My Donor tags attached. Patients can visit the Message My Donor website to type an anonymous message. The donor will receive the message via an email from OneBlood.
