ENCINITAS, CA -- San Diego County Credit Union, San Diego’s largest locally-owned financial institution, is hosting a blood drive on May 29 at seven locations in San Diego and Riverside counties.

SDCCU has supported the San Diego Blood Bank for nearly 20 years. Blood donations are especially critical at this time of year when the blood banks often lose the high school and college resources they rely on due to the summer break. Blood donations typically decrease during this time of year while the need for more blood often increases.
