The Month of the Red Cross
March is Red Cross Month. The American Red Cross plays a nationwide role in securing our nation’s blood supply. Every two seconds, someone in America needs blood. Think about donating blood this month, and you can help save someone in need.
Here are some guidelines to follow if you are thinking about giving blood:
You must:
- Be 17 years old
- Weigh at least 110 pounds
- Be healthy and not have a fever or cold
Some travel destinations can interfere with giving blood, so if you have vacationed recently talk with a Red Cross employee or visit the website to find more information.
Benefits of donating:
- You receive cookies, juice and sodas after you donate.
- One pint of blood can save up to three lives.
Even though you might not like needles, donating blood is a life-saving act. Consider donating blood and visit the Red Cross website for more information on donation centers and drives in your area.
