The Littleton Board of Health is promoting awareness that January is National Blood Donation Month, a time to highlight the critical need for blood donations during the winter months when donations often decline while demand remains steady.
Donating blood is quick, safe, and easy, and a single donation can help up to three people, including trauma patients, cancer patients, and individuals undergoing surgery.
If you are healthy and eligible, please consider donating blood to support local hospitals and patients in need.
