Giving the gift of life: Facts about blood donation from the Red Cross

• Someone in the U.S. needs blood every two seconds, including car accident victims, cancer patients, people with blood disorders, and victims of natural disasters.

• Every year, an estimated five million Americans receive blood. On average, 44,000 blood donations are needed each day to meet this demand.

• One car accident victim may need as many as 100 pints of blood.
