Donating blood is one of the simplest things a person can do to help save a patient’s life. For the hour it takes to give blood, there could be a whole community of people thankful for another birthday given to their loved one. As a thank you, those who come to give blood will receive a long sleeve Red Cross shirt, while supplies last.
