May is Trauma Awareness Month.

The blood already on hospital shelves is what saves lives in an emergency. Did you know 1 trauma victim can use up to 100 units of blood to save their life.

The Red Cross depends on the generosity of volunteers to ensure blood products are available at a moment’s notice. Your support ensures there is blood on the shelves when unexpected trauma occurs!
