The resolution recognizes January as National Blood Donor Month in Alabama, a time to honor voluntary blood donors and promote blood donation, especially during periods of low blood supply. It highlights the critical role of LifeSouth Community Blood Centers, which have been serving Alabama for over 30 years by collecting and distributing blood products to local hospitals. The resolution emphasizes the ongoing need for a diverse blood supply, noting that while blood transfusions occur every two seconds in the U.S., only three percent of eligible individuals donate blood, leading to chronic shortages and vulnerabilities in the nation's blood supply.

Furthermore, the resolution calls on all citizens to celebrate blood donation and acknowledge the contributions of volunteer donors. It encourages eligible individuals to donate regularly and urges businesses and organizations in Alabama to support community blood drives in collaboration with LifeSouth Community Blood Centers and other blood collection agencies. The resolution aims to raise awareness about the importance of blood donation and to ensure a stable supply of blood products for patients in need, including those undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments, and trauma care.
