It's National Blood Donor Month in the United States, and Divergent is raising helping to raise awareness. Blood shortages affect millions worldwide, and recent crises, such as the ongoing wildfires in California, have only increased the demand for donations. 🩸 Did You Know? - Globally, the gap between blood demand and supply leaves approximately 30 million units unmet yearly. - In low-income countries, up to 54% of blood transfusions are given to children under 5 years old. - The California wildfires have devastated communities, causing hospitals to experience shortages as they strive to provide urgent care. How You Can Help: 1️⃣ Find a local blood drive near you through the Red Cross. 2️⃣ Donate blood this January. 3️⃣ To show our appreciation, we’re offering a $10 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card to everyone who donates and shares proof of their donation with us via DM. Let’s come together to make a real difference in the lives of people globally and in crisis-affected areas like California. A small act can save lives. #NationalBloodDonorMonth #GlobalBloodShortage #CaliforniaWildfires #GiveBloodSaveLives

This Holiday Season, People Need People Won't you please consider donating blood to support our community? The need for blood doesn’t take a holiday, and shortages often occur during the winter months. Did you know that donating blood burns about 650 calories? It’s a great way to give back while balancing out those extra Christmas cookies! Why Donate Blood? 17% of people who don’t donate say they’ve “never thought about it.” Now is the perfect time to start! 15% say they’re “too busy,” but the process only takes about an hour and could save up to three lives. The #1 reason donors give blood is simple: they want to help others. The Impact There is no substitute for human blood—every pint comes from volunteers like you. If just 1% more Americans donated blood, shortages would disappear. While 37% of Americans are eligible to donate, only 3–4% actually do each year. How You Can Help There are three opportunities in our community to donate this season! Please consider making an appointment to give blood and help your neighbors in need. Another way to make an impact is by sharing this message with your network. Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to consider donating as well. Together, we can ensure our community has the blood supplies it needs to save lives. Be the reason someone celebrates the holidays this year.
