January is National Blood Donor Month, an opportunity for first-time and regular donors to make a difference in their communities. January is usually a difficult month for blood centers across the country due to fewer people donating during the holidays, poor weather and more people getting sick. Usage is higher while turnout is lower, which can put blood inventory at a critically low level.
