Looking for Ways to Help Your Community?
Now more than ever, patients in our community are relying on the generosity of healthy, eligible blood donors. At Stanford Blood Center (SBC), we need to collect approximately 200 units (pints) of blood per day to support all the children and adults in our community who depend on life-saving blood products for treatment. If you are able, please consider donating to help us continue to meet the needs of local patients!
We have three donor centers:
- Menlo Park Center: 445 Burgess Dr., Suite #100, Menlo Park
- Mountain View Center: 515 South Dr., Suite #20, Mountain View
- South Bay Center: 295 E. Hamilton Ave., Campbell

The 2020 Census is Happening Now!
|
|
Every 10 years, the federal government must count each and every person living in the country. It doesn’t matter what your citizenship status is, how old you are, or if you have had trouble with the law. Making sure you and your family are counted is one of the most powerful things you can do to support your community and shape your future.
The 2020 Census will ask a few simple questions about you and everyone who is or will be living with you on
April 1, 2020
.
For the first time, you can choose to complete the census
online, by phone, or by mail
.
