Give. It’s in Your Blood
 
Every month, SMH needs more than 2,500 units of donated blood to continue saving lives. But our blood drives bring in only 80 units per month.
With just a single 15-minute blood donation, each of us has the ability to save up to 3 lives, so let’s tackle it, Team SMH-style.
