you can do it, yes you can.

In 2008, 61.8 million adults donated approximately 8 billion hours of service. This represents 26.4% of adults who volunteered through or for an organization to address pressing needs such as hunger, homelessness, illiteracy, environmental disasters, and other community concerns.

New Beginnings

It's a brand new year: why not resolve to be a little kinder, give a little more, make the world a little better? The New Year offers each of us a chance to redefine ourselves- to chip away some of our flaws, to magnify some of our talents- providing us with a new lease on life. What better time to extend the gift of life to another by donating blood? It doesn't require a lot of time, energy, or resources, yet this simple act of service can be a matter of life or death.

This New Year, resolve to make a difference in the world by giving someone the gift of life. Call your local Red Cross and inquire about how you can donate blood.
