Louisville is a part of the River Valley Blood Services Region, and we are usually always in a blood shortage.
The Red Cross schedules multiple blood drives each day to meet the needs of our hospital partners. Our blood donors devote their time and the gift of life to help those in need.
With multiple blood drives each day, we need volunteers! We have blood drives all across the Louisville Metro area, and involve volunteers in two roles: Greeter and Canteen Host.
Greeters assist the Red Cross in accomplishing its mission by welcoming blood donors and providing a professional registration process for blood collection.
The canteen host assists donors by providing attention, care, and refreshments following their blood donation.
Blood drives are either located at our downtown collection site or at community mobiles near you. Shifts typically last 4-6 hours and can be located at either our downtown collection site or at community mobiles.
Be a part of the American Red Cross legacy and help your community prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
It's easy to become a Red Cross volunteer, and we will work with you to find the area that best suits your skills. You can lend your services daily, weekly, monthly or as many hours as you are able to give. You can easily make a difference in people's lives every hour of the day when they need it most.

Our vision is to train 250,000 people throughout Kentuckiana in the workplace, in schools and in the a variety of other community-based organizations through an aggressive community awareness and preparedness training campaign Called Together We Prepare Kentuckiana.
This program communicates the key elements: Make A Plan; Build A Kit ; Get Trained; Give Blood; Volunteer.
Every day, the American Red Cross helps people in emergencies . . . whether it's half a million disaster victims or one sick child who needs blood. Our vital work is made possible by people who know how good it can feel to lend a helping hand. Red Cross "everyday heroes" come from all walks of life. Everyone has something special to offer . . . including you.
Last year more than one million Americans helped their communities prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies as Red Cross volunteers. And the demand for vital American Red Cross services and the committed volunteers to deliver them continues to grow. You can help your community be prepared.
