Have a Heart-Consider Donating Blood
February is heart health month. And it is the month of love with Valentines Day around the corner. Give a gift to someone that may save their life! In less than an hour of your time, you can make a huge impact on somone else.
There is a dire need for blood.
Surgeries such as organ transplants have been delayed due to lack of blood. According to the American Red Cross, supply is low due to COVID-19 and fewer donations. Colleges and highschool blood drives are not occuring as they were.
The benefits of giving blood:
- Satisfaction of knowing you are helping someone else.
- Receive a mini physical; blood pressue, pulse, and hemoglobin level.
- Receive a $10 Amazon gift card (if your donation s done in February)!
Blood drive sites are needed.
Could a site where you work or volunteer be a partner to host a blood drive? See here for requirements to host a blood drive.
