Why do people give blood?
Because they like to help others – and because giving feels amazing. In busy, complicated times, giving blood is an easy, meaningful way to make a difference. In fact, this simple gift can enhance the lives of up to three people. Giving blood only takes about one relaxing hour, and we – and your body – do all of the work. Remember, blood is a gift – straight from the heart. Your heart. Please share it today!
