0

Help can’t wait. Participate in an American Red Cross bloodmobile.We are called to live as
family and community. There are so many things in this world today that are wrong. Won’t you try to do
something right? Help save a life. Help save three lives with your one pint of blood. Help save lives
every 56 days.The need for blood is constant, every two second someone in the United States needs blood.
However, the number of people donating blood fluctuates because many donors are deferred due to serious
medical conditions or travel in high risk areas. The commitment of new donors partnering up with
community members who make donating blood a top priority is extremely important.If you have a teenager,
16 years old, you could start to make giving blood a family affair. Bring many generations together to
give blood. Think of all the love that could be spread to your family and others in the community. Think
how many lives you could save. Give blood somewhere.St. Aloysius Annual Blood Drive is Saturday, Dec. 7,
