]]> January has been designated as National Blood Donor Month to encourage people to give or pledge to give blood at least two or more times a year. Blood is typically in short supply during the winter months—especially January—due to the holidays, travel schedules, inclement weather, and illness. A reduction in donor turnout can cause blood shortages around the country.
