March 27 (Day 27) Give Blood & Give Life!

March is AMERICAN RED CROSS month, and before the month ends I wanted to highlight a great opportunity to save lives at no cost! The only cost to you is a little bit of your time.
WHY GIVE BLOOD?
You don’t need a special reason to give blood. You just need your own reason... 

  • Some of us give blood because we were asked by a friend. 

  • Some know that a family member or a friend might need blood some day. 

  • Some believe it is the right thing we do.

Whatever your reason, the need is constant and your contribution is important for a healthy and reliable blood supply. And you’ll feel good knowing you've helped change a life. 
Benefits of Donating Blood:
  • It feels great to donate.
  • There are certain health benefits that come from donating blood.
  • It is something you can spare - most people have blood to spare...yet, there is still not enough to go around.
  • You will help ensure blood is on the shelf when needed - most people don't thing they'll ever need blood, but many do.
  • You will be someone's hero - in fact, you may help as many as three people with just one donation.
