        Blood can be stored for only a limited time before use. That is why there is a constant need for blood supplies. We need to ensure that safe blood is available whenever and wherever it is needed. #GiveBlood! http://bit.ly/2JNJsH5 pic.twitter.com/mV9EoLq7kg

        A decision to donate your blood can save a life, or even many. Your blood can be separated into its components — red cells, platelets and plasma — which can be used individually for patients with specific conditions. #GiveBlood! http://bit.ly/2JNJsH5 pic.twitter.com/evJAeMfghI
