National Blood Donor Month
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The first of the new year is upon us and there is no better way to start it than to start with charity.
National Blood Donor Month is meant to encourage people to donate blood. The pool this year is bigger than ever because of the new guidelines established by the Food and Drug Administration allowing LGBTQIA+ individuals to donate blood with the same ease as anyone else.
Max Winitz at Blood Assurance wants people to know that his group especially keeps all of the blood they draw in Southcentral Kentucky in the area, this he says saves three lives in your hometown every time you donate.
“If you ask me, this is the easiest way in the world to make a difference in somebody’s life and by giving and taking an hour out of your day, you are literally saving lives by rolling up that sleeve and donating this life-saving fluid.” Winitz said.
Keep an ear to the ground for any blood donation events taking place near you, some hospitals are almost always looking for blood donations as well.
