There is currently a national blood shortage and it is affecting all communities. Donating blood is an unselfish act that requires and saves lives In fact statics show that each pint donated can save up to three lives.

Blood can’t be manufactured. Despite medical and technological advances, blood can’t be made so donations are vital. Only about one-third of the country’s population is eligible to donate blood.
