Our organization has been in an unusual position since Hurricane Ike slammed us a week and some change ago. Houston is just now reverting to normalcy... though a complete recovery is months away, if at all possible. The Blood Center shut down its operations for four days in response to Ike and began collecting again last Tuesday, calling for the public to give blood and replenish the supply.

We've developed a new social portal that allows blood recipients to say thanks to their unknown donors.  Thank Your Donor gives a chance for people to hear all the positive effects that their blood donations are having. 

We're hoping this will encourage more people to donate! 

Check out one of the videos that a recipient made to say thanks:
