Your blood donation can make a difference in the life of a cancer patient, a newborn suffering from complications, or a man, woman, or youngster who has lost blood from an injury, surgery, or organ transplant. Every day we need more than 200 units of blood to help save lives in the Washington, D.C., metro area. Thanks for your willingness to give the gift of blood.
