America’s Blood Centers (ABC)
 ABC is an
international network of local, non-profit, community blood centers
founded 1962. ABC members subscribe to a community-based blood
banking philosophy. That means community donors know that the blood
they give stays in that community first -- helping family members,
friends and neighbors. Excess supply is shared with other
communities who need it most.
