According to the organization, Type O donations are in high demand.


Here are a few other interesting facts from Carter BloodCare about the importance of giving blood.

• 32,000 pints of donated blood are used each day in the U.S. and there is a need for blood every three seconds.


• One in 7 hospital patients need blood.
