Things to know about donating blood:

  • There is no substitute for human blood.
  • Every day brings advances in life-saving techniques – many of which require blood or blood products.
  • Blood products cannot be stored indefinitely.
  • Because blood may be needed at any time, it must be collected regularly.
  • No one expects to need blood, however, if it is not available when the need arises, the consequences can be fatal.
  • Those who donate can tell you there is no better feeling than saving a life.
  • Only about 5% of those eligible to donate actually donate blood.
  • That is why regular donors, those who donate 3 to 4 times per year are so important.
