Jesus needs us to help the sick, and giving blood is one way that even a non-medical person can render a vital medical service. A blood donation truly is a "gift of life" that a healthy individual can give to others who are sick or injured. Blood donation is extremely important because it is the only way to maintain sufficient blood supplies for medical treatment. Despite medical advances, there is no good man-made substitute for human blood. The need is constant.
Do you know whether or not you are eligible to donate blood? Anyone who is 17 years or older, weighs at least 110 pounds, and is in good general health may donate. Come to Building I on Sunday, July 13, when the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center will visit our campus. In 2007 St. John’s helped save 267 lives!
