FACTS ABOUT DONATING BLOOD

  • Just 1 donation can save up to 3 lives.
  • Someone in the U.S. needs blood about every 2 seconds.
  • Most blood types fall into one of the four major groups: A, B, AB, O.
  • Less than 10% of the eligible U.S. population donates blood.
  • Blood donation is safe and most healthy adults can donate a pint (about half a liter) safely, without health risks.
  • Within a few days of a blood donation, your body replaces the lost fluids.
