Donate Blood
Why donate?
Because...
- Every 2 seconds someone needs blood.
- 38,000 pints of blood are used EVERY DAY.
- Demand for blood is rising faster than the rate of donations.
- 1 pint of blood can save up to 3 lives.
- 60% of the population is eligible to donate, but less than 5% do on a yearly basis.
- Human blood cannot be manufactured outside of the body.
- You burn about 650 calories by donating one pint of blood!
