You can walk into the store any day of the week and get a book or video
for someone, but there is something that stores don't sell, and money
can't buy... Blood.
Only by generous donations from people like you, thousands of lives can be
saved each year. Because of people like you, others are given a second
chance, all
because
you took one hour out of your day, to give blood.
Please take a look at the following blood recipients below, and click on
their picture for the full story; or call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to find out how
you can help with the gift of blood, the gift of life. To view current blood
drives in your area, please visit http://www.givelife.org.
