To fulfill our mission, we deploy a fleet of vehicles as part of our blood operations to secure, process, and deliver blood products vital to saving lives. BBD is in dire need of a new Sprinter van that will provide reliable transportation to set up community blood drives, offer convenience to volunteer blood donors, provide emergency blood delivery, and perform other essential activities to help save lives in the Delmarva region.  One Sprinter Van costs $80,000! Your financial gift will enable us to set up community blood drives, ensuring easy access to donate blood.

Your support is crucial to helping us continue to deliver lifesaving blood to our community.
