Every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood and or platelets. A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 units of blood. Many cancer patients will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment. Blood and platelets cannot be manufactured; they can only come from volunteer donors. One donation can help save more than one life.

• Drink extra fluids, especially water.
• Eat iron-rich foods the day before and day of your donation, such as red meat, fish, poultry, beans, and spinach.

• Bring a book to read while you donate – or check one out from the Library, we’ve got lots!
