Approximately 20 percent of the blood donations in Georgia come from students! With the students gone, it is difficult to replace these donations which typically results in blood shortages.

Walk-ins are welcome, but priority is given to individuals who make appointments online at www.redcrossblood.org, using sponsor code "gatech."
