Why donate?

You will be someone’s hero – One pint of blood can save up to three lives.

It feels great to donate!

It’s something you can spare – most people have blood to spare… yet, there is still not enough to go around.

You will help ensure blood is on the shelf when needed – most people don’t think they’ll ever need blood, but many do.

Important to be well hydrated; wear comfortable, loose clothing
