“It is not every day you get to witness an immensely selfless act in the making…volunteering gives me the opportunity to share in their rewarding experience and give back the same compassion they show for patients in need.”
— Daniel Rossi, SBC Mobile Volunteer
At Stanford Blood Center, volunteers have the unique opportunity to work directly with our donors as they help save lives through blood donation. Volunteers at Stanford Blood Center are giving back to their own communities. They interact directly with our donors and medical personnel. All of our volunteer positions support our mission to provide blood products to patients in need.
Volunteers assist with a variety of positions within the agency, at our centers in Menlo Park, Campbell, and Mountain View, as well as at our various mobiles held at businesses, schools and community organizations throughout the Bay Area.
