Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation. Just one donation can save up to three lives.
Unfortunately, a pandemic does not halt the need for blood. It is more important now than ever before to do our part in donating to save lives. Join Wayfair by rolling up your sleeves and pledging to make an appointment at your local donation center by August 1.
