According to the Red Cross, even though only 5% of eligible people actually donate blood, it is estimated that 95% of us will need blood or a blood product during our lifetime. In the Carolinas Blood Services region, more than 1,500 units of blood are needed each day for patients in local hospitals. To learn more about donating and how your donation is used, check out the Blood Facts page on the Red Cross – Carolinas Blood Services Region website.
