Blood Drive - Friday, January 28

give blood
Friday, January 28
SMC Campus Center

January has been recognized as National Blood Donor Month for over forty years.   Blood is traditionally in short supply during the winter months due to holiday travel schedules, inclement weather and illness among blood donors.   Every two seconds someone in America needs blood, and approximately 40,000 units of red blood are needed every day.  Giving blood is a way to support the community by helping to ensure that a stable inventory is available for premature babies, cancer patients, or the many people who suffer accidents and other illnesses that may require transfusions.

to learn how you can help.  All donors during this drive will recieve a free American Red Cross fleece blanket.
