Donate Blood

January is National Blood Donor Month—a time to highlight the importance of giving the gift of life. Donating blood is a simple way we can make a big difference in someone’s life. 

 

Whether it’s for a patient undergoing surgery, someone injured in an accident, or a person battling a chronic illness, every pint donated can help to save up to three lives.

 

We all have busy lives, but donating blood can take less than an hour. It is a small act of kindness with a ripple effect of hope and healing. Plus, it’s a great way to kick off the new year with purpose and compassion!

 

If you’ve never donated before, don’t worry—it’s quick, easy, and safe. Blood drives are happening here in Moreno Valley and the surrounding communities not only this month, but also throughout the year. Our local blood banks are always ready to welcome new donors. Check out LifeStream Blood Bank or the American Red Cross to find a location or blood drive near you.

 

To those of you who regularly donate, thank you for being a lifeline to so many in need. Your generosity is why we are a community that cares and looks after one another. 

 

Together, we can ensure that every hospital, clinic, and emergency room has the necessary resources to save lives.

 

 

 

Enero es el Mes Nacional del Donante de Sangre, un momento para resaltar la importancia de dar el regalo de la vida. Donar sangre es una forma sencilla de marcar una gran diferencia en la vida de alguien. 

 

Ya sea para un paciente que se somete a una cirugía, alguien lesionado en un accidente o una persona que lucha contra una enfermedad crónica, cada pinta donada puede ayudar a salvar hasta tres vidas.

Todos tenemos vidas ocupadas, pero donar sangre puede llevar menos de una hora y es un pequeño acto de bondad con un efecto dominó de esperanza y curación. Además, ¡es una excelente manera de comenzar el nuevo año con propósito y compasión!

 

Si nunca ha donado, no se preocupes, es rápido, fácil y seguro. Las campañas de donación de sangre se están llevando a cabo aquí en Moreno Valley y las comunidades circundantes no solo este mes, sino también durante todo el año. Nuestros bancos de sangre locales siempre están listos para recibir nuevos donantes. Consulte el Banco de Sangre LifeStream o la Cruz Roja Americana para encontrar un lugar o una campaña de donación de sangre cerca de usted.

 

A aquellos de ustedes que donan regularmente, gracias por ser un salvavidas para tantos necesitados. Su generosidad es la razón por la que somos una comunidad que se preocupa y cuida unos a otros.

 

Juntos, podemos asegurarnos de que todos los hospitales, clínicas y salas de emergencia tengan los recursos necesarios para salvar vidas.
