Happy Holidays
Give blood during the holidays
The holidays are here and for most of us that means battling crowds, rushing from store to store and waiting in long lines…all in search of the perfect gift.
The holidays are here and for most of us that means battling crowds, rushing from store to store and waiting in long lines…all in search of the perfect gift.
But the perfect gift is as close as your American Red Cross blood drive. It’s a life-saving blood donation. So this year, leave your worries behind and concentrate on doing something good for someone else.
“A blood donation provides a true gift from the heart that can give someone another holiday season with loved ones,” “But blood is only available when generous donors roll up their sleeves. It truly may be the greatest gift someone receives this holiday season.”
Life-saving blood must be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It’s needed for traumas, surgeries, cancer and leukemia treatments, organ transplants and more. There simply is no substitute.
“Because people are busier than normal around the holidays, it can be easy to forget to make time to donate blood,” “But the need for live-saving blood doesn’t take a holiday. Every two seconds someone in America needs blood. You can help by giving the perfect gift.”
How to Donate Blood:
Simply call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (1-800-448-3543) or visit bloodisneeded.org to make an appointment today. All blood types are needed to ensure the Red Cross maintains an adequate blood supply. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Donors must be in general good health, weigh at least 110 pounds and be at least 17 years old (16 with completed Parental Consent Form). New height and weight restrictions apply to donors younger than 19. Visit bloodisneeded.org to learn more.
About the American Red Cross:
The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit www.redcross.org

I just gave blood about a month ago...does that count??? LOL. They had a blood drive at San Jose State, so since I was already on campus, I figured why not. I was kinda light headed after.

Canadian Blood Services is hoping to increase its blood supply this Christmas. Blood donor clinics in Edmonton are looking for Edmontonians to make some time to donate before the New Year.
Canadian Blood Services says more blood is needed specifically between Dec. 1st and Jan. 2nd.
"We need 6,000 donations within that time to meet hospital demands," said Mark Salamandick with Canadian Blood Services.
On Tuesday morning, Santa was the first to roll up his sleeve and donate at the Edmonton Blood Donor Clinic.

Hi `John,
Thanks 4 giving the `gift of life 4-Sure.
What is your blood type ?
My is 0 positive.
We take the senior citizens to the Blood Bank
to give blood & they recruited the bum's.
I sure don't like needles, but it's really not that bad
considering that it could save a `life.
Thanks for giving & being a super MCF Member

We think it's a great gift that only cost a short amount of time to donate. The `kid was scared when he first gave blood, but now he's gives on a regular basis.Wish you & all member's reading this a Happy, but we believe the ones that do share & give during their `journey are happier because of there actions...Peace/Out BeachBum`Mike
