Your blood donation is the greatest gift you can give. When you give at any of our seven donor rooms between November 29 and December 6 you’re eligible for a $500 Visa shopping spree. 

Give the gift of life. The gift of joy. The gift of togetherness.

Support your community and donate blood or platelets!

As part of our 9 days of Giving, all presenting donors from Nov. 20-28 at any of our donor rooms will score:

  • Medium 2-Topping Marco’s Pizza voucher
  • $10 value in Donor Rewards that can be redeemed for emailed gift cards to Amazon, Walmart, Starbucks or hundreds more retailers OR your new favorite South Texas Blood & Tissue Center T-shirt!

For more than 45 years, the nonprofit South Texas Blood & Tissue Center has focused on a critical purpose: to save and improve lives.

Inspired by a group of physicians, our organization was formed to provide blood to the South Texas region – ensuring a safe and adequate blood supply through proper testing, storage and distribution to hospitals. This essential service allows front-line workers to focus on the direct care of patients, with confidence that this lifesaving resource will be there when it’s needed most.

But we didn’t stop there. Over the years, we’ve evolved as the needs of our patients and hospitals have changed, driven to save lives in as many ways as possible.

We couldn’t do this without donors like you. We understand that the gift of donation is a personal, powerful choice that has the potential to touch a life. Today, we offer many ways to make a difference that include:

Our team has also expanded its programs, partnering with leaders within the healthcare industry to develop a wide range of therapies.
