Every three seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion. That’s 1,200 each hour, 28,800 every day and 10.5 million every year.
Blood drives will be held on the Hilltop Campus this academic year to help increase supplies for the American Red Cross and the Community Blood Center of St. Louis.
The drives will be Oct. 24-27, Jan. 23-26, Feb. 20-23 and March 27-30.
For a complete schedule with locations, go online to communityservice.wustl.edu/donateblood or watch the Record “University Events” section.
