Blood Donor Awareness Month

January is Blood Donor Awareness Month

By Jacquetta Williams, Macaroni Kid Augusta Publisher, Augusta, Ga January 5, 2023

Blood donations to the Red Cross are extremely vital and impactful, working to supply life-saving resources to 40 percent of hospital patients across the U.S. including those with cancer, pregnancy complications, and accident and trauma victims. In fact, the Red Cross must collect approximately 13,000 blood donations every day to keep up with demand, and the need for lifesaving blood is fulfilled through the help of Red Cross employees, volunteers, and donors.
