Giving blood is a simple, safe way to make a big difference in people’s lives.

Donating blood can help:

• People who go through disasters or emergency situations
• People who lose blood during major surgeries
• People who have lost blood because of a gastrointestinal bleed
• Women who have serious complications during pregnancy or childbirth
• People with cancer or severe anemia, sometimes caused by thalassemia or sickle cell disease
