By Anna Kelly


There are many quiet heroes in our world today. People who have changed lives by doing something that everyday citizens can do and make a difference. These people are active in the American Red Cross Blood Drive and it has made all the difference to many people from all walks of life.

By giving blood you can help area hospitals to save lives that hang in the balance during an accident or other emergencies. This is the importance of participating in the drive and becoming a donor. Your donation can help those victims by giving them this life-saving substance they need in acute emergencies. There is always a need for donors and you can help.

To become a donor is easy. You simply provide your identification and pass a simple health screening by one of the agencies staff members. You can also participate by hosting and event yourself. This may take considerably more time but is well worth the effort.

You can help your community become more aware of the need for donors. By actively participating in handing out literature or just speaking at certain events about the need for donors, you can bring awareness to many people who could become active donors in your community. By advocating for this organization you will be setting an example for many generations to follow.

The future of the organization rests in the hands of the youth and by advocating area schools and youth organizations you can help to keep this life-saving practice at the forefront and help to advance its mission. It is important to involve as many people as possible and to let them know that this is vitally important in saving lives within and outside of the community.

Hospitals and blood banks need this life-giving substance on a regular basis so it is important to keep a regular schedule of donating. Keep this supply on hand is necessary in cases of emergency when supplies run short as with a natural or man-made disaster. Supplies can run short very quickly during these types of emergency.

At some point in time, we all may need blood and it is good knowing that there are active participants willing to donate on a regular basis to keep this supply on hand for when we may need it ourselves. Helping the community to understand this through advocating is important. By being a donor or host you can get the word out by showing people how they can participate and help in saving lives in their community. The time and effort it takes is not much, just by letting a friend or neighbor know, you are helping to spread the word.

Find out how you can help by contacting your local agency today. They are only a phone call or email away and you can learn about the organization and what they do by visiting their website. It only takes a few minutes of your time but by hosting a drive or becoming a donor you can save someone their entire lifetime many times over.
