ARMED SERVICES BLOOD PROGRAM
The Armed Services Blood Program is the official military provider of blood products to the U.S. armed forces. As a joint operation among the military services, the ASBP:
• Provides quality blood products for service members, veterans and their families in times of both peace and war.
• Collects, processes, stores, distributes, and transfuses blood worldwide.
• Works closely with our civilian counterparts in times of need.

Blood and blood products are used for patients of all ages for many reasons. From cancer patients to those with battlefield injuries, military members and their families depend on blood donors every day. Your donation can save:
• A service member injured in action
• A child with cancer
• A family member in need of heart surgery

Did you know that of the 38% of individuals in the U.S. that are eligible to donate, only 3% do? The ASBP is hoping you can help change that percentage.

DEA’s National Take Back Day Returns April 26 to Help Prevent Prescription Drug Misuse

WASHINGTON, DC –The Drug Enforcement Administration, in coordination with more than 4,400 law enforcement partners across the country, will host the 28th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering communities across the United States a safe, convenient, and anonymous way to dispose of unneeded prescription medications.

With nearly 4,500 collection sites nationwide, Take Back Day aims to reduce the risk of prescription drug misuse by helping Americans safely remove expired, unwanted, or unused medications from their homes—medications that might otherwise be misused.
