Donating blood is good for YOU. It may reduce your risk of heart attack, it improves your sense of well-being, and it could even help identify a possible medical condition. Saving someone’s life can actually improve your own. It’s a win-win situation!

Blood donations drop off dramatically as schools close and summer approaches. May is an important time to step up and help blood centers be ready for summer - a time when more accidents and injuries happen. Do it for a stranger. Do it for yourself!

To thank you for making the time, each person who registers to donate will receive a box of America’s favorite treat: Girl Scout Cookies!
