Why Blood Donation Matters
Donating blood is a simple act of kindness that has a profound impact on our community's health and well-being.
The Need is Constant
Every day, patients in hospitals require blood for surgeries, cancer treatments, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Your donation ensures a stable supply.
Save Multiple Lives
A single donation can be separated into its components—red cells, plasma, and platelets—and can help save up to three lives.
A Gift to Community
It’s a selfless act that strengthens community bonds and provides a vital resource that cannot be manufactured, only given.

X+Understanding Blood Groups
Your blood type is determined by antigens on the surface of your red blood cells. Knowing your type is crucial for safe transfusions.
- There are 4 main blood groups: A, B, AB, and O.
- Each group can be either RhD positive (+) or RhD negative (-).
- This means there are 8 common blood groups in total.
- Type O negative blood is known as the universal donor type.
A healthy diet helps ensure a successful blood donation. Check out the following recommended foods to eat prior to your donation.
Be a Part of Something Bigger
The most common blood type is O, followed by type A. Type AB individuals are "universal recipients" because they can receive blood of any type. No matter your type, your donation is vital.
