It's a Wonderful Life
What is the true meaning of the Holiday season? Helping someone in need? Being an active member of the community? Giving of yourself to someone less fortunate than you?

The answer to these questions is that they all fulfill the true meaning of the holiday season and you can accomplish all three in only one hour! Donating blood will give someone in need the best present they can receive, the “gift of life.”

Please make time during the busy holidays and visit your nearest
Blood Bank of Alaska center or mobile blood drive in your neighborhood
and let everyone know how good it feels to save a life.

Thank you for your support.
