Our friends at Vitalant have done the math and they tell us that every 2 seconds, someone in America will need blood. It could be a little girl with leukemia. It could be the victim of an accident. It could be a lot of things. Vitalant supplies blood to around 900 hospitals in two dozen states. Two dozen hospitals who rely on Vitalant for their day-to-day and also their unimaginable blood needs. But one blood donation can save up to three lives. And Vitalant has a couple of blood drives here in town where you can potentially make that life-saving donation.

Let me be the first to say that I am not one to doubt the math that the people at Water and Environmental Technologies are showing. After all, they are some of the smartest people in town doing work that I can barely spell correctly, less understand. So, when they say that based on 2023 data, approximately 75% of the people who donate blood at this Friday's Blood and Food Drive will get a door prize, I am inclined to believe them. And these door prizes are pretty cool, too.

Vitalant of Butte is once again coming together for a community Blood Drive on December 14th! As outlined on their Vitalant website, it is estimated that patients receive a platelet or blood transfusion every two seconds of every day. Hence, blood drives save lives, making donating more critical than ever. If you are worried about the needle used to draw blood, don't be. Many donors compare the experience to a quick, minor pinch. The process is safe, plus you'll feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that you are potentially helping families across the United States who require transfusions. The awareness and significance of donating blood was always made apparent in our household growing up. My father was adamant about its importance and during his lifetime donated over 20 gallons of blood.
