Are you part of a group of people who would like to give back to the community by donating blood together? Or maybe a part of a group that would like to donate blood in honor of a common friend or family member?

Groups that aren't large enough to host a blood drive (we need a minimum of about 20 donors for that) are invited to have a "Center Drive" at one of our three Centers in Palo Alto and Mountain View. There are a couple of ways we can help you with that:
• By scheduling a block of appointments at one Center and have your group come in and donate blood together.
• By allowing members of your group to make their own appointments during a certain week or month, and maintaining a list of donors for you.

We take appointments from 7:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. every day except Sunday, so there is ample opportunity to donate.

We truly appreciate the impact that a group donation can provide, and we'll acknowledge your contribution on this page. For more information or to schedule a group donation, please contact Kevin O'Neill at 650-725-2540 or .

Here are some of the groups who hold Center Drives with us:

	Santa Clara County Fire Department	Santa Clara County Fire Department had a successful center drive, and is now planning to have drives in a blood mobile at their headquarters in Los Gatos. Thanks for your support!
	Palo Alto Fire Department	This local Fire Department has held ongoing blood drives, keeping our appointment slots filled during times they would typically be empty.
	Menlo Park Firefighters Association	Menlo Park Firefighters Association have distinguished themselves by having the greatest percentage participation of their membership. Nice achievement, MPFA!
	Urban Dog Walkers	The Urban Dog Walkers, an organization that supports people affected by breast cancer, makes a remarkable, bi-monthly group visit to our Hillview Center.
