In the months of early spring, blood is typically in short supply at the Red Cross blood donation centers. There are many reasons this could be true: people need more blood during this time, donors do not want to travel to donate blood, or there may be less blood drives during this time of year. Medi-Rents and Sales encourages you to donate blood this March in honor of American Red Cross Month to help those in need.
According to the Red Cross, the celebration of American Red Cross Month dates back to 1913 and March was recently reestablished as American Red Cross Month in 2013. Not only is it a time to ask new and previous donors to give blood, but also to celebrate those who have given blood and saved lives by doing so. The Red Cross receives nearly 11 million donors each year and Medi-Rents and Sales encourages you to start the year off right by giving back and saving a life. You can also give back by becoming a volunteer for the local Red Cross.
If you are looking to give blood or volunteer in the Baltimore area, Medi-Rents and Sales has great news for you. The local Red Cross chapter is right around the corner and willing to take donations. Giving back directly in the community is a great feeling because you are helping local people just like you.
Here are a few reasons why you should donate blood:
- Some of us give blood because there is a disaster in the area that may need help from you.
- Some of us give blood because it is important to other people’s wellbeing and health.
- Some of us give blood because we were asked by a friend.
- Some know that a family member or a friend might need blood someday.
- Some believe it is the right thing we do.
