Please take this opportunity to donate blood. Since there is no substitute for human blood, and donors are the only source, this is a wonderful gift to those in need from all walks of life. Every two seconds, someone needs blood, and the demand for blood continues to increase. In Central Pennsylvania, 275 to 300 units of blood and blood products are needed at area hospitals daily. An adequate blood supply is crucial to the survival of cancer patients, accident victims, children with blood disorders, and many others. Your donation helps to save and enhance the lives of these people, as just one pint of your blood can save as many as three lives.
