Top 10 Reasons to Give Blood

  • You will get juice and cookies.
  • It’s easy and convenient. It only takes an hour.
  • You will weigh less. One pint less than when you came in!
  • It’s something you can spare. Most people have blood to spare, but there’s still not enough to go around.
  • No one can ask you to do heavy lifting. As long as you wear your bandage, you’re on reprieve.
  • You will walk a little taller. Leave with a feeling that you’ve done a good deed.
  • You will be helping to ensure that blood is there when it’s needed.
  • You will give a gift that costs nothing but lasts a lifetime. Blood is something that can only be given from one person to another.
  • You’ll be someone’s hero
  • It’s the right thing to do!
