Why give blood?

 

  • EVERY TWO SECONDS, SOMEONE IN AMERICA NEEDS BLOOD.
  • GIVING BLOOD IS EASY. IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR, AND A SINGLE DONATION CAN HELP SAVE UP TO THREE LIVES.
  • GIVE TO SOMEONE IN IMMEDIATE NEED – IT COULD BE A FRIEND, A NEIGHBOR, OR A STRANGER.
  • THE NEED IS CONSTANT, THE GRATIFICATION IS INSTANT.
  • GIVE BLOOD.
