"I always say, it's better to give than to receive."

For Margaret, donating platelets is her way of honoring her father, a dedicated multi-gallon blood donor who inspired her to give back. Even though the process takes a little bit longer than a whole blood donation, she's happy to give because she knows it's where she can make the biggest impact as someone who is AB-.

Thank you, Margaret, for carrying on your father's legacy and for your unwavering commitment to helping patients in need. Your generosity is making a lifesaving difference, one platelet donation at a time. ❤️

We are heartbroken by the violence in downtown Minneapolis and extend our deepest sympathies to the victims, their loved ones, first responders, healthcare teams, and everyone affected - including our colleagues at Memorial Blood Centers (MBC) who are supporting hospitals and patients in their community.

MBC has provided nearly 300 blood products to support victim care, and we remain ready to support them as needs evolve.

As we head into the holiday weekend, please donate if you are eligible. Your donation helps ensure blood and platelets are available for patients in our communities during emergencies and every day.

When we asked Robert what brought him in to donate, his answer was simple:

"I got a phone call saying you needed blood, so I made an appointment." ❤️🩸

It wasn't until we talked with him a little more that we realized just how humble he was being. Robert is a lifelong blood and platelet donor, and today marked his 152nd lifetime donation!

Thank you, Robert, for answering the call time and time again. Your generosity has made a lifesaving difference for countless patients, and we're so grateful to have donors like you in our community. 💙

35 years. 231 blood drives. More than 10,400 donations. And countless lives impacted. ❤️

Rhode Island Blood Center is proud to celebrate 35 years of partnership with Amica Insurance and the employees who have rolled up their sleeves, encouraged their colleagues and answered the call for patients in need year after year.

Since the partnership began, Amica has hosted 231 blood drives and helped collect more than 10,400 blood donations, supporting patients facing cancer, trauma, surgery, childbirth complications, chronic blood disorders and other serious medical needs.

To mark this incredible milestone, RIBC presented Amica with a special recognition honoring 35 years of lifesaving partnership and impact. The celebration also featured remarks from RIBC Executive Director Nicole Pineault, Amica Senior Vice President of Human Resources Scott Boyd and Amica COO Sam Palmisano, bringing together Amica and RIBC leadership to recognize the people behind these numbers—and the lasting culture of giving they’ve built together.

This milestone comes at an especially important time, as summer can be a challenging season for blood collections. We’re grateful to Amica and its employees for their continued commitment to patients across our region.

Thank you, Amica, for 35 years of lifesaving partnership. ❤️

Some donations are about more than saving lives, they're also about honoring the ones we love. ❤️🩸

Michael recently made his first blood donation in memory of his father, who passed away from cancer. The donation was especially meaningful because it took place on what would have been his father's birthday.

By his side was his girlfriend, Melanie, a dedicated donor who has been giving blood for several years. Having donated regularly at workplace blood drives and typically rolling up her sleeve twice each year, Melanie was proud to support Michael during this special milestone.

Together, they turned a day of remembrance into a gift of hope for patients in need.

Jaxon’s story is possible because of the generosity of blood donors. Every donation played a role in the lifesaving care that helped him survive and thrive.

But that gift only reaches patients through a fully supported system—one that requires ongoing funding to sustain donor recruitment, collection, testing, storage, staffing, and emergency readiness.

Your support helps ensure donated blood is always available, safe, and ready when it’s needed most.

Donate today to help sustain the system that turns generosity into survival for patients like Jaxon. https://bit.ly/4pTLISc

For Jose, donating blood is simple -- "I'm healthy and able to give, so I do."

A longtime whole blood donor, Jose rolls up his sleeve two to three times a year to help ensure lifesaving blood is there when patients need it most.

Thank you, Jose, for your continued commitment to making a difference. Every donation has the power to save lives, and we're grateful to have you as part of our donor community.
