In an effort to address the growing blood supply crisis in Orange County, the City of Irvine and UCI Health are partnering together to host a blood drive event Wednesday, December 18, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., at the Irvine Civic Center. Donations received will help provide critical care for patients at UCI Medical Center. 

Donors will receive a $10 gift card to either Target, In-N-Out Burger, or Starbucks, along with an entry into a Winter Wonderland drawing — courtesy of UCI Health. Appointments are suggested but not required and can be made in advance online at cityofirvine.org/blooddrive. Walk-ins will also be accepted.
