Need for Blood is Constant
Blood and blood products are used for patients of all ages for many reasons—from cancer patients to those with battlefield injuries, military members and their families depend on blood donors every day. Your donation can save:
- A service member injured in action
- A child with cancer
- A family member in need of heart surgery
It's easy to save lives! By committing to give blood at least once a season, you help ensure that blood is available when it is needed most.
