Reflection Question
Cultivating Communities Donate Blood

Why do you donate blood?

Dan Hacker 10/25/2022 8:27 AM

I have been donating blood since 1991 (I'm old). I have O- blood and that seems to always be in need. I donate because it is something simple I can do to help someone out. Also I'm not scared of needles.
