An American Red Cross blood drive is hosted in the FBC Social Hall at Faulkville Baptist Church, which has supported community blood drives since 1995. Donations help meet vital needs across the country. Someone needs blood every two seconds, more than 38,000 donations are required each day, and about 16 million blood components are transfused in the U.S. annually. Hospitals most often request Type O blood. The average red blood cell transfusion uses approximately three pints, and blood needed for emergencies must already be on the shelves. People living with sickle cell disease, affecting 90,000 to 100,000 people in the U.S., the vast majority of whom are African American, may require frequent transfusions throughout their lives. Many individuals undergoing chemotherapy also rely on donated blood, sometimes daily, and a single car accident victim can need as many as 100 pints.
