Blood drive in the heart of the village and Valentine’s Day pop-up | General

Donate life-saving blood and shop for your Valentine’s Day. Save a life and show your love!

The Carlsbad Village Association is sponsoring its fifth annual blood drive in the heart of the village on Saturday, February 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year’s blood drive will be hosted by Barrio Glassworks located at 3060 Roosevelt St, Carlsbad, CA 92008 in the heart of Carlsbad Village, Carlsbad, CA.

Donating blood is easy. In less than an hour, you can save up to three lives. This is a great opportunity to make a difference in your community. By donating life-saving blood, you can help:

People going through disasters or emergencies

People who lose blood during major surgeries

People who have lost blood due to gastrointestinal bleeding

Women who have serious complications during pregnancy or childbirth

People with cancer or severe anemia sometimes caused by thalassemia or sickle cell disease

Advanced appointments are required and can be made by visiting: https://www.mysdbb.org/donor/schedules/zip

New for 2022! During the blood drive, the CVA, in partnership with Barrio Glassworks, will host a pop-up Valentine’s Day shopping experience. Before or after your donation, shop at one of our on-site vendor kiosks. Save a life and show your love in one convenient place. Artisan vendors will include:

Handmade greeting cards by local artist Monica Martin

Homemade Chocolate Gift Boxes by Susie’s Sweet Fudge

Spa gift sets and blown glass vases by Barrio Glassworks

Compose your flower arrangements

On-site gift wrapping

The need to donate blood is constant and this year the supply to our national blood banks is dangerously low. Donating blood is safe and easy. By participating in the village blood drive, you will save lives and help the local community.
