• Blood Drive @ Stanford Blood Center

  • When
    Mon, August 04, 2025
  • Location
    Menlo Park, Mountain View or Campbell

  Every two seconds, there's a unique need for blood, meaning blood donation directly impacts our community, saving lives and providing crucial support to those in need. That also means that by the time you finish reading this article, at least 35 people have needed blood.

  A small percentage of all hospitalized patients (one in seven) receive blood transfusions. Leading users can include patients with cancer, heart disease, gastrointestinal disease, fractures and trauma, anemia, bone and joint abnormalities, organ transplants, and lung, liver and kidney disease.

  You can make a difference by donating, and we’ve made it easier than ever to make donations a habit—schedule your donation every two months on a Western Wheelers' Monday!

  Three locations available, all have bicycle parking available:

  Stanford Blood Center Menlo Park, 445 Burgess Drive
  Hours: 7 a.m.–4 p.m.
  Schedule an Appointment >
  Map / Directions >
  

  Stanford Blood Center Mountain View, 515 South Drive, Suite #2 
  Hours: 7 a.m.–4 p.m.

  Stanford Blood Center South Bay in Campbell, 295 Hamilton Avenue

  Note: Stanford has a 24–hour vigorous exercise restriction following blood donation, feel free to ride to/from your donation if it’s an easy spin.
