Let’s all start off the New Year right and help others! Donating blood to the American Red Cross saves lives. In fact, according to the American Red Cross, just one pint of blood can save three lives and someone is in need of blood every two seconds. If saving lives is not enough reason for you to donate blood, do it for the free juice and cookies. It only takes about 30 minutes to donate blood if you schedule an appointment. Donating blood is a free and easy way to give back to your community. Donors must be disease free, healthy, 17 years or older, and weigh at least 110 lbs. There is a local, Huntington Beach donor center at Lake Park that is open for 1:00pm to 7:00pm every few days. Upcoming donation dates are January 11th, 13th, and 20th. To schedule an appointment to donate at Lake Park go to http://www.redcrossblood.org/make-donation.
