Give Blood |
|
Every American needs to contribute to the
blood supply so those in hospital emergency
rooms and operating rooms can have access to
this most important life-sustaining
substance. We all expect blood to be there
for us, but barely a fraction of those who
can give do. Yet sooner or later, virtually
all of us will face a time of great
vulnerability in which we will need blood.
And that time is all too often unexpected.
From its beginning, the American Red Cross
has formed a community of service, of
generous, strong and decent people bound by
beliefs beyond themselves. The honor, spirit
and resources of the American people comes
forth with neighbors helping neighbors in
need – during earthquakes, floods, fires,
storms – and also for the deeply personal
and often quiet disasters that require a
gift of blood.
Though the American Red Cross collects
more than 40 percent of the nation’s blood
supply, we do not collect in Colorado. Don’t
let that stop you! In every region of our
Chapter there is an outstanding hospital or
blood center that collects blood. For the
closest donation center, call your local
hospital or the Bonfils Blood Center.
