It's important because if people are hurt and they're losing alot of blood they're going to need more and their body can't make more that fast.So if you donate blood people with your same blood type can use your blood in a transfusion so they will have more.It saves lives.

It is important because there are people who are injured, who need blood transfusions.
If you donate blood you can help them.
