Missionaries of the Sacred

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Giving blood is one way we can show solidarity with others, by giving people we’ll never meet another chance at life. Although donated blood usually goes to people in the United States, sometimes blood centers send blood to hospitals in other countries in response to a natural disaster. For instance, blood centers in the US are sending blood to Haiti to help  hospitals meet the need for blood. So giving blood helps save lives in our own country, and also helps us be prepared to help save the lives of people affected by a natural disaster.
