#GivingTuesdayNOW Idea #59: Give Blood

According to Healthline.com, “There’s nothing particularly special about the new coronavirus that requires extra blood donations, but there’s still a consistent need for the life-saving plasma.”

Dr. Pampee Young, chief medical officer for the American Red Cross told Healthline that cardiac surgeries, organ transplants, and platelet needs of people with cancer don’t stop because of a global emergency.

If you are in good health, not experiencing illness or signs of COVID-19, and have not been exposed to someone who has, you may be a good candidate for blood donation.  To find out more about blood donation, schedule an appointment, or find a blood drive, click HERE.
