blood donors

Life-fluid volunteers

Blood donors are people who give blood for medical use—transfusions, surgeries, or processing into blood products.

The term emphasizes the voluntary, unpaid nature of giving: donors give, they don't sell.

The Red Cross is always looking for blood donors.

Regular blood donors may receive cards tracking their donations or small tokens of appreciation.
