January is National Blood Donor Month, and every donation has the power to save up to three lives. 🩸❤️
In our Wright County community, blood donations support our neighbors during surgeries, cancer treatments, traumatic injuries, and childbirth complications. It's one of the most direct ways to make a life-saving impact right here at home.
Here's what makes you eligible to donate:
✨ Generally healthy and feeling well
✨ At least 17 years old (16 with parental consent)
✨ Weigh at least 110 pounds
✨ Haven't donated whole blood in the last 56 days
The process takes about an hour, and the impact lasts a lifetime. Plus, you get free snacks—and the knowledge that you're literally a lifesaver.
