Here in Houston, we’re proud of our diversity—it’s what makes this city so vibrant. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, it’s important to recognize that this diversity isn’t just a point of pride—it’s essential, especially when it comes to blood donations. Hispanic donors play an important role in keeping our blood supply stable and ensuring that lifesaving blood is available when it’s needed most. But the reality is, we need more Hispanic donors to step forward and make an even greater impact.
May is Trauma Awareness Month
In May, we shine a light on trauma awareness, an important time to recognize how deeply traumatic experiences affect people, families and communities. This month reminds us to prioritize understanding, support and healing for those dealing with trauma. But in the midst of conversations about resilience and recovery, there's a crucial aspect often overlooked -- blood donation.
Here’s How You Can Volunteer With Us
April isn't just about showers and flowers; it's also National Volunteer Month! It's a time to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of those who selflessly give their time, energy and skills to make a difference in their communities. While some individuals may be unable to donate blood due to various reasons, their desire to contribute to their community remains strong. For those who find themselves unable to donate blood, volunteering becomes a powerful avenue through which they can still make a meaningful impact.
