    The Red Cross is constantly working to increase the availability of blood and blood products. This includes educating potential donors about healthy habits that will reduce deferrals such as for low iron, improving the yield from platelet donors and using containers that extend the time that blood can be safely shipped. Increasing diverse blood donor recruitment is critical to the future of our Nation’s blood supply. The Red Cross is implementing initiatives throughout the country to increase the number of blood donors in diverse communities and raise awareness of the need to give blood. The Red Cross also works to find rare blood donors to meet the specialized needs of patients all over the country. Through its 39 Immunohematology Reference Laboratories, offering support to hospitals across the country, and its collaboration with AABB on the American Rare Donor Program, the Red Cross helps ensure that patients will get the blood they need at any time of the day or night.

    Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia's mission is to enable all young people to realize their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. Every day young people in our community are faced with new challenges. Boys & Girls Clubs give them the tools and confidence to meet those challenges.

    Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia provide after-school and summer programs and services built on a foundation of member and community involvement.

    We emphasize the development of board, staff and volunteer resources, speaking with one voice to reach at-risk youth in our communities.

    Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia owns one stand alone facility in Virginia Beach. All other facilities were established through partnerships with public schools systems and Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority. This allows us to maximize resources, by utilizing existing buildings and resources to their fullest capacity. In turn we are able to reach more children at a lower cost per child.
