You can give at least three meaningful gifts this holiday season without
visiting a store, browsing a catalog, or shopping on line.
When you donate blood through the American Red Cross in the next few weeks,
you can help save the lives of up to three people. Your donation, too, can
help offset the slump in blood collections that typically occurs around this
time of year.
Blood donations can taper off during the winter holidays when people are busy
with planning festivities, community and family activities, shopping or travel.
Regardless of the season, more than 39,000 pints of blood are needed every day
across the nation to help patients beat serious diseases or survive accidents or trauma.
The season of giving starts from within. Please take the time to give someone the
greatest gift: the gift of life.
