I made my last blood donation for 2023 in advance of the holidays. This time of year blood donors are needed to help keep a good inventory available for those in need and for emergencies. As a blood bank worker I’m always glad to help.
You even get a donor gift and snacks for donating. That’s a cool part of the experience.
I work for Blood Assurance, a Chattanooga , Tennessee based regional blood bank as a Telerecruiter. That means that I’m on the phones every day asking donors to come in for another blood donation. I work with a team of people who like me are tasked with helping to insure a safe and adequate blood supply for the people and hospitals we serve. It’s not an easy job but it’s important work. Success comes from lives saved and making a connection with donors in the community who also want to help save lives with their blood donations.
It’s going to be a stormy afternoon and evening where I live. Time to batten down the hatches or something like that.
I work at a blood bank and try to donate on time every 56 days, which is when you are allowed to donate whole blood. Today was my day to give and I am always glad to do so. It’s important to help others this way. No matter what you can find your own ways to help others mine is to save 3 lives through blood donation.
