As Orlando marks 10 years since the Pulse nightclub shooting, trauma surgeons with Orlando Health are reflecting on the blood donors and community support that helped save lives in the hours and days after the tragedy.

You hear it often: There’s a need for blood donors -- but there’s apparently a particular need for the Black community to step up and donate.

OneBlood in Central Florida launched a new tool to encourage more donors to make life saving donations amid a national shortage of accessible blood.

Donate blood and get a free medium hot or iced coffee in January.

OneBlood is teaming up with Bento Asian Kitchen + Sushi for a blood drive taking place across the state on Friday.
