A few reasons why you should consider donating.

Lifesaving

A single donation can save up to three lives. Blood is essential for treating cancer, chronic illnesses, traumatic injuries, and surgeries.

Helps patients

Blood donations help patients of all ages, including those who have lost too much blood, those with blood disorders, and those who need regular transfusions.

Blood supply

Blood donations are needed more in the winter and summer months when donations are lower. A lack of blood can make it difficult for hospitals to care for patients.

Flexible

Whole blood can be used as is or separated into its components, red cells, plasma, and platelets.

Benefits to donor

Donating blood can improve mood, enhance emotional well-being, and increase a sense of belonging. It may also lower the risk of heart disease.
