Augusta Alumnae Chapter- DST

National Blood Donor Month has been observed in January since 1970 with the goal of increasing blood and platelet donations during the winter one of the most ...difficult times of year to collect enough blood products to meet patient needs. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation. During the winter months, inclement weather often results in cancelled blood drives, and seasonal illnesses like the flu may cause some donors to become temporarily unable to donate. The Southern Region of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. urges the community to become active in learning more about how supporting blood donation efforts can save lives. #SRDST See more
