RECOGNIZING JANUARY 2025, AS “NATIONAL BLOOD DONOR MONTH” IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

This resolution formally designates January 2025 as "National Blood Donor Month" in Delaware. It recognizes the importance of voluntary blood donation to support the Blood Bank of Delmarva and address chronic blood supply shortages, which impact patients requiring transfusions for conditions like cancer, trauma, and sickle cell disease. The resolution urges Delaware citizens, businesses, and organizations to support blood donation efforts and partner with blood collection institutions to host community drives. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new policies or funding but aims to raise awareness and encourage participation in blood donation.
