Give blood, give life.

Every two seconds, someone needs blood. You can help meet this need by donating a pint of your own. Blood donation only takes hour or so, and it's something most of us can spare. Your body will make more and you'll be able to donate again in 56 days. Blood drives happen everywhere, all the time. Contact local hospitals and blood banks for a drive in your area. Or for more information, including donation locations, call the Red Cross at 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (1-800-448-3543) or visit www.givelife.org.

Think of your family, think of your friends, think of yourself, then give. It's just an hour, just a pint and it just might save a life. Donate regularly.

Consider donating today. Over 60% of Americans are eligible but only 3% donate blood. It's such an easy way to make a difference in someone's life. Make an appointment today to donate blood, plasma, or platelets

Giving blood saves lives! In many areas, blood centers struggle daily to meet the needs of hosptial patients and more donors are needed.

More than half the nation's blood is donated to community blood centers, not ARC. To find a community blood center near you, call visit www.americasblood.org or call 1-888-USBLOOD.

Wherever you give, you're touching someone's life in a very real and profound way.
