38-40 Giving to the Red Cross

 

These happy paintings brighten Chelsee Ryan’s playroom. The Ryan’s decided a great way to give is by donating blood to the Red Cross. By donating blood you help save lives!

Here are some benefits of donating from the Red Cross website:

Benefits of Donating

Benefits of Donating

  • It feels great to donate!
  • You get free juice and delicious cookies.
  • It’s something you can spare – most people have blood to spare… yet, there is still not enough to go around
  • You will help ensure blood is on the shelf when needed – most people don’t think they’ll ever need blood, but many do.
  • You will be someone’s hero – in fact, you could help save more than one life with just one donation.

If the thought of giving blood is intimidating you can still help by volunteering.
