“At
our last blood drive back in March I gave blood for the first time. It was an
easy, efficient and painless process. More importantly than all of that it was
extremely rewarding. Knowing you are helping others simply makes you feel
good. Altruism and volunteering have been linked to positive health
outcomes, including lower risk for depression and greater longevity.
Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person.
It is the gift of life. A decision to donate your blood can save up
to three lives."
And
if you need one more thing to motivate you - people who donate blood have an
88% lower risk of suffering a heart attack.
Please join us on August 23rd at
Houck’s Grill. If you cannot donate for any reason, please encourage a friend or
family member to donate.
