We mention American Red Cross Blood Drives quite often because it's an easy way to help others without costing you anything but a little time. With the donation of blood, you could save someone's life. As a matter of fact, you could be saving several people's lives. Most people have plenty of blood to spare and you'll be helping to ensure that there's a good supply on the shelf if the time should come that it's needed. Plus you get free juice and cookies afterward and you can walk out with a good feeling, knowing that by giving the gift of blood, you've given the gift of life.
