33549Blood Centers of the Pacific is the nation’s oldest nonprofit community blood center and for nearly 75 years Blood Centers of the Pacific has served as the link between those who give the gift of life and those who depend on it.

Your support at this time is crucial. Consider the facts below:


4.5 million Americans would die each year without life-saving blood transfusions
Approximately 32,000 pints of blood are used each day in the United States
Every three seconds someone needs blood
One out of every 10 people entering a hospital needs blood
Just one pint of donated blood can help save as many as three people’s lives

Over 500 patients a day require life-saving blood transfusions through one of the 50 Northern California hospitals. They rely on the kindness of blood donors – like you – too take part. Our center is located at 2324 Bethards Drive, Santa Rosa and our hours are:


Monday, Friday, Saturday: 8:00am - 3:00pm
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: 11:30am - 6:30pm
