Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood; 1 out of every 3 people will require a life-saving transfusion sometime during their lifetime. Unfortunately blood expires, creating a constant need to replenish the supply to ensure availability when needed. Won’t you save a life this fall before the holiday season?  Please sign up to donate today!
