Many of Massachusetts鈥� cities and towns are currently in desperate need of blood donations. Donation centers regularly face shortages, with some only one trauma or emergency away from using up their entire supply.
Donating blood takes only one hour, but that time can have a truly astonishing impact on the lives of those in our community.
