Every two minutes someone in our area needs blood, and the blood
supply has to be constantly replenished. Donated
blood is usable for only 42 days, so volunteer donors are constantly needed to help save
lives. People who care about others are the
only source for blood. It can’t be
manufactured, animal blood can’t replace it, and it costs nothing to give.
Most blood is used
to treat cancer, heart and liver diseases, sickle-cell anemia and hemophilia. The next biggest use is for emergency surgeries
due to injuries. Blood can be separated into
red cells, platelets, and plasma; so many people can be helped with your single donation.
The blood you give
saves the lives of as many as three people – people from our local community or
across the country. Countless others are
still in need. In the Missouri-Illinois Blood
Region alone, which serves Leavenworth County, 1,200 American Red Cross blood donors are
needed each day. The only source of blood is
through the life-saving gifts of volunteer donors.

What Exactly is the
Blood Donation Process?
The actual blood
donation only takes about 10-12 minutes, but you should allow about one hour from
registration to refreshments. It is a
three-step process:
 (1) You fill out a
short registration form.
(2) A brief health
check will be conducted by a donor care specialist who will ask you some questions to
protect you and the patient who receives your blood.
(3) You will be seated
in a comfortable chair and you can select the arm from which you want to donate.
