Like the Marines, the Knights looking for a few good men and women to join their regular donor club. They are looking for just ONE man and ONE woman per mass to join their ranks. I can’t put in words how much that would mean to our community and families. At times we are barely meeting the demands put on our blood supply.

We encourage walk-ins, but those with appointments get first priority. You can call: 520-230-7295 for a time that is convenient for you.

Blood cannot be manufactured; it can only come from generous donors such as you. Just one donation can save the lives of up to three people. Giving blood is a generous act of kindness that helps ensure that the Red Cross can continue to provide blood for those in need. The Knights can honestly guarantee that you will be glad you invested your time to donate. After your donation you will receive refreshments, snacks, and fresh donuts from Bashas! In addition, to further show our appreciation you will receive a FREE voucher for a famous Knights of Columbus pancake breakfast to be used at your convenience.
