Committed, regular blood donors are the backbone of every community blood program. VBS Rewards, an upgrade from the traditional Friends 4 Life and Platelet All-Stars programs, rewards donors who commit to giving blood several times during the year. After each whole blood or platelets donation, donors will earn VBS Rewards points, which they can use to redeem for gifts in the online catalog or give back to selected charitable organizations. Virginia Blood Services asks you to join VBS Rewards and take pride in helping maintain a reliable blood supply year round. Click here for more information about VBS Rewards.
