Whether due to traumatic injuries, must needed surgeries, or complex medical complications such as anemia in premature babies, 4.5 million Americans will a need blood transfusion each year. At times, blood is distributed to hospitals faster than donations come in impacting our blood supply. Right now the United States largest blood supplier, the American Red Cross, has less than a five-day blood supply on hand.
But you can help! By making one donation you can save up to three lives. It takes only an hour of your time with the donation part usually taking only 10 minutes!
Need more convincing? Acts of giving and altruism have been proven to be good for your health. From reducing stress to increasing happy endorphins, the reasons to give a little of you time and self are endless.
