Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. GBS has set aside a week of volunteer activities (Sept. 16 – Sept. 20) during global volunteer month, where employees can focus on giving back to their communities. During this time consider rolling up your sleeve and donating at your local Red Cross blood bank. Here are are few reasons to give:
1. Saves Lives: A single donation can save up to three lives.
2. Emergency Preparedness: A well stocked blood supply ensures our country is prepared for emergencies and natural disasters.
3. Community Strength: Donating blood is a simple yet easy way to give back to your community.
Your generosity and willingness to help can make a tremendous difference.
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
