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.
