Donating Blood
The need for blood is incredibly high!! Here is a web site you can visit for more information on blood doning. There are alot of restrictions on this like: you must have normal blood pressure, not have had a tattoo in the last year and not have high anemia. Visit these sites for more information.
This is a great way to help out and maybe save some one's life.
