Attorney Bill Voss owns The Voss Law Firm, PC, in The Woodlands, Texas. Outside his work as an attorney, Bill Voss supports charitable organizations such as the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross is an international nonprofit organization that provides an array of humanitarian and emergency services. In addition to offering lifesaving medical training opportunities and responding to both natural and manmade disasters around the world, the American Red Cross accepts year-round blood donations at numerous locations.The blood donation process begins with at-home preparation. Start eating meals that are high in iron one to two weeks ahead of the donation, and stay hydrated on the day you go in to donate blood. Wear loose-fitting clothes to your appointment, both for comfort and to make it easier for medical professionals to draw blood.Prior to drawing blood, provide Red Cross workers with a list of all prescription and over-the-counter medications you have recently taken, along with identification. At this point, you simply need to relax and wait for a medical professional to initiate the blood donation process.
Houston attorney Bill Voss founded The Voss Law Firm, PC, over 10 years ago. Besides his work as an attorney, Bill Voss supports his local chapter of the American Red Cross (ARC).ARC’s Disaster Action Team is available around the clock to provide relief services to those affected by earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires that affect their homes, and a variety of other disasters.In December 2016, ARC provided assistance when Houston’s Pier Club Apartments, a 16-unit multifamily property, caught on fire. Since the fire occurred two weeks before Christmas, this affected the holiday season for those living there. Many lost all of their possessions. Although the cause of the fire has not yet been identified, firefighters are working to determine if it was heating related and implementing the use of more smoke alarms. ARC is helping to provide for the affected families as they recover from this disastrous event.
