If you're able to donate blood, please consider making an appointment (and a habit) to do so. And drink some extra water beforehand. The need is great because of the big drop in blood drives and donors. I just scheduled my next donation.https://www.npr.org/2024/01/09/1223734878/red-cross-blood-shortage-national-blood-donor-month
