While there is always a need for this vital resource, it is now vitally important for our community to have reliable supply.

Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.

Many people ask: “How does donating blood help me?”

Every time you donate blood it’s like a complementary check-up:

They check temperature;
They check blood pressure;
They check iron level;
You can get some health-related information. For example:
- What is my iron level?
- What is the acceptable iron level range?
Being a blood donor lifts spirits and provides positive emotional wellbeing. Knowing you are helping others, particularly in this time of great need for blood, is fulfilling. This also encourages leading a healthy lifestyle to continue ability to donate.

It’s like a mini-physical every 8 weeks!
