Rockwall, TX (December 17, 2025) – Resolve to help others in the new year by giving blood during National Blood Donor Month in January, recognizing the importance of donors in building a safe, available blood supply.
Blood donors make a difference for people hurt in traffic accidents, children fighting cancer, burn patients, older adults with age-related health issues, patients with bone marrow disorders, mothers having difficult childbirths, and many others in need. Blood donated locally with Carter BloodCare stays local to treat Texas patients.
