There are increased seasonal illnesses during the winter months and inclement weather conditions, donations of blood and platelets decline, and demand increases. The American Red Ross and Blood Banks of America encourage everyone to donate blood and to continue their donations. Blood donation is safer than ever before and saves lives. Millions of people including cancer patients, organ recipients, and victims of accidents all rely on blood donations from people like you and me.
Contact the American Red Cross. or your local blood bank for more information today. Save a life! It may be your own someday.
