Here are some informational bullets from the Red Cross….

• We’re in an emergency need for blood right now. Blood is going out far faster than it is coming in and this can have an immediate impact on patient care.
• The need for blood is constant. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.
• Blood can be safely donated every 56 days and Power Reds can be donated every 112 days.
• Donated blood is perishable. Red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days.
• All presenting donors will receive a free t-shirt, and a $5 Amazon gift card.
