Time to roll up your sleeves!<\/b><\/h1>\n

January is National Blood Donor month<\/a>! \u00a0One of our\u00a0self-storage customers<\/a>\u00a0named Jackie, a nurse at our local hospital, reminded us to make sure we participate!\"\"Here at The Storage Inn in Egg Harbor Township New Jersey<\/a>, we are encouraging both our staff, and our storage space<\/a> customers to get out and donate this month. Blood donations typically drop off during the winter months, making National Blood Donor Month in January a critical time for the American Red Cross. Busy schedules, holiday breaks from school, inclement weather and winter illnesses contribute to fewer donations This poses quite a challenge since the need for blood stays the same, or increases during the winter. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Cross needs to collect more than 13,000 donations every day to keep the blood supply ready and available to meet the needs of about 2,600 hospitals, clinics and cancer centers across the country.\"\" They rely on voluntary blood donors, and although an estimated 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood at any given time, less than 10 percent actually do. The Red Cross, which provides about 40 percent of blood in the U.S., is seeking new donors to help meet the needs of patients battling cancer and other conditions or disorders, individuals undergoing surgery and victims of accidents or violent acts such as shootings.<\/span>
