In the healthcare service system, ensuring an adequate and safe blood supply is a fundamental need. However, active community participation in blood donation remains relatively low due to limited understanding of its benefits and procedures. This community service program aims to improve public knowledge and awareness of blood donation through health education delivered to PKK cadres in Gunungpati District, Semarang. The methods used include health lectures, interactive question-and-answer sessions, and knowledge assessment using pre-test and post-test instruments. A total of 114 participants, consisting of health cadres and local residents, were involved in this activity. The data showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge after the educational intervention. The pre-test and post-test results indicated an increase in the proportion of participants with good knowledge from 18.4% to 73.7%, while the proportion with low knowledge decreased significantly from 47.4% to 5.3%. These findings confirm that the implemented educational intervention effectively enhanced community understanding of the role of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), the benefits of blood donation, and the importance of public participation in supporting blood donation activities.
